F

eaturing two full days of great
live music the White Squirrel
Festival in Downtown Brevard, NC
is the perfect way to experience
everything this charming
mountain community has to offer.
Best of all it’s FREE! Whether it is
Jazz, Bluegrass, Singer-Songwriter
or Rock and Roll, the eclectic
music in this beautiful setting
provides something for everyone.
Free concerts right on Main Street
this year, with headliners Jupiter
Coyote, Bone Pony, Jeff, Ike and
Mike (Jeff Sipe, Ike Stubblefield,
Mike Seal) and Patrick Smith
Band… nearly 20 acts in all!
Plus over eight blocks of street
vendors, food vendors, merchants,
artists, craftsmen, potters, painters,
games, kid’s activities and loads
of plain old fashioned fun! And
did we mention our Squirrel Box
Derby? Kids from 8 to 80 come
from all over the region for a
chance to race handmade derby
carts down the infamous Jailhouse
Hill. From fastest to squirreliest,
there are prize categories for
everyone.

Got a knack for photography?
Then grab your camera and take
a few snaps of our most famous
residents… Brevard’s very own
white squirrels. They scamper all
over the downtown area, and we’ll
even take you to see them on our
scheduled White Squirrel Tours.
Already have a great shot of one
of these fuzzy little critters? Then
submit it in our White Squirrel
Photo Contest.
It’s all happening in beautiful
downtown Brevard, voted one of
the “Top 10 Coolest Small Towns
in America by Budget Travel.”
From festivals to waterfalls to
hiking and biking, you can find it
all this Memorial Day weekend in
downtown Brevard, NC, “Where
Music Meets the Mountains.”
