Published Thursday, September 6, 2018 by Jason Tarr
National Geographic presents Asheville by Design
You can watch the program on the National Geographic Channel September 20th at 6:30 p.m. and September 27th at 9:30 a.m. The times are the same for those on the east and west coast. The air time is an hour earlier for those in the Central Time Zone. The documentary will also be available on demand (depending on your cable provider) beginning September 21st.
A crew from National Geographic was in town in May 2018 capturing video for the program. Pictured here is a look behind-the-scenes!
The documentary will highlight everything from Asheville's stunning mountain vistas to the farm-to-table dining culture, from the booming live music scene to cool breweries, from the creativity of the arts scene to the area’s top attractions. Intermixed is Asheville history and how the magical Asheville experience has become what it is today.
Among the iconic Asheville locations featured are the Blue Ridge Parkway, The River Arts District, Biltmore, The Omni Grove Park Inn, The Asheville Drum Circle, Highland Brewing, Asheville Bee Charmer, The Dog Door, Chai Pani and Rhubarb.
The documentary is part of an on-going partnership between Explore Asheville and National Geographic that began last year.
