Explore Asheville Presents the Concert for Carolina Official Community Viewing October 26 

Free to Attend with Advance Registration 

Explore Asheville and Harrah’s Cherokee Center – Explore Asheville invites you, your friends, family, and colleagues to the official Concert for Carolina Community Viewing, taking place October 26 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. Doors open at 4pm, and the live stream concert starts at 5pm. Admission is free, but registration is required. Reserve your spot by registering here for free.  

The live concert may be sold out, but we are bringing the experience to you! Join us for a powerful evening of community, connection, and music, including a star-studded lineup of artists coming together to support the communities affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene. A few local restaurants will be providing small bites from 5-7pm, and artists affected by Helene will be vending their art during the show.  

Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Bailey Zimmerman and more will headline the “Concert for Carolina,” a special benefit show presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority. One hundred percent of the proceeds, including sponsorships, will support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.   

We look forward to seeing you there. 

If you are able and interested, there are a few ways you can get tickets to see the concert live. There are five Always Asheville VIP Concert Packages to bid on via our auction. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Always Asheville Fund that will provide emergency grants to local, small businesses.
