Autumn Adventures and Spooky Thrills Await in Asheville this Weekend
Published 6 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Sunday, October 26, 2025.
It is a beautiful fall Sunday here in Asheville as we approach the last week of October, and the city is buzzing with events, local developments, and plenty of autumn activities to keep everyone entertained. For those looking to make the most of the crisp mountain air, today’s highlight is the Uncommon Market on the AB Tech Campus. Running from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., this vibrant outdoor market is a treasure trove for lovers of antiques, vintage finds, jewelry, and original local art—plus, you might just find your new best friend, as Mountain Pet Rescue will be on site with adoptable pets. Admission and parking are free, and food trucks will keep you fueled as you browse and stroll rain or shine.
Halloween spirit is everywhere in Asheville this weekend. Families looking for a spooky but child-friendly adventure can head over to the Haunted Trail at the Adventure Center of Asheville. Starting at 6:30 p.m., you’ll find magical lights and classic Halloween scenes—all geared for little ones ages 3 to 12, but fun for everyone. And for grown-ups looking to mix a bit of glamour with their ghost stories, tonight’s Pink Lady Party at the Omni Grove Park Inn promises themed cocktails, tarot readings, and a “Haunted Who Did It” mystery game that might just give your Sunday a chilling twist.
Over in downtown, Asheville Vaudeville brings a bit of the unexpected to the Sly Grog Lounge at noon. Expect comedy, cabaret, and musical mischief in a truly Asheville-style showcase. If you are a fan of the arts, the River Arts District's RAD Art Market is also happening, with local artists sharing new works and live demonstrations throughout the afternoon.
Sports fans may be recovering from a tough Saturday for UNC Asheville women’s soccer, with the Bulldogs falling to Longwood 2-0, but hope springs eternal as they look forward to next week’s home game against USC Upstate for the Ingles I-26 Rivalry. Next week will also see a traffic shift in Clyde as U.S. 74 westbound lanes close for a new bridge project, so plan an alternate route if you’re heading out that way—expect some congestion during the evening commutes.
There’s encouraging news for those still feeling the impact of Tropical Storm Helene. Buncombe County has just secured an additional four million dollars in federal grants for disaster recovery jobs and job training, expanding opportunities for residents who lost work after the floods. Local officials encourage anyone affected to check in with their local NCWorks Career Center to see how they can get involved in cleanup and rebuilding efforts.
For those who want to unwind with music or a bit of laughter, tonight at ACT you can catch The Rocky Horror Show at 7:30—costumes are always welcome for this cult classic. If you’re more of a comedy fan, Orlando Leyba is in town performing tonight at the Wortham Center’s Tina McGuire Theatre.
Finally, the Eliada Fall Festival and Corn Maze continues this week, offering family-friendly autumn adventures just five miles from downtown. Whether you’re here for the pumpkins, the art, or the eerie, Asheville has you covered.
This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
