Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Saturday, February 22, 2025.
Today is packed with exciting events across the city.

For those interested in yoga, West Asheville Yoga is hosting an Intro to Ashtanga Workshop from 12 to 2 p.m., perfect for beginners or those looking to refine their practice.
Foodies will love Asheville Restaurant Week, which is happening this weekend. Over 50 restaurants are participating, offering special menus and culinary delights. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the best of Asheville's dining scene.
In the evening, the Black Wall Street AVL is hosting the 3rd Annual Black Legacy Awards at 6 p.m. at Asheville Community Theater. This event celebrates local Black leaders who have made significant contributions to economic development, social change, education, health, and community empowerment. It's a special night to honor those who have paved the way for progress in the community.
If you're in the mood for live music, there are plenty of options tonight.

Looking ahead to next week, the Asheville City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25. This meeting includes a special public comment opportunity for the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget. The community is encouraged to participate and help shape the city's funding priorities. You can attend in person or leave comments by email or voicemail until 9 a.m. on the day of the meeting.
In other news, the city is still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Helene. Events like the Black Legacy Awards and the upcoming SoCon Week, which includes the Southern Conference Basketball and Wrestling Championships, are part of the efforts to rebuild and support local businesses.
For those planning to attend the City Council meeting, free parking will be available in the city employee parking lots along Marjorie Street after 4:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
