Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Saturday, April 11.

What a vibrant Saturday we're kicking off in the Blue Ridge Mountains, folks. Last night, the energy was electric at Harrahs Cherokee Center with An Evening With Goose rocking the stage, and if you missed it, catch the Always Almost There Day After Show Live today at ExploreAsheville.com Arena—perfect for keeping that jam band buzz alive. Over at One World Brewing West, the Fringe Revival lit up the night at 8 p.m., drawing crowds for its eclectic vibes, while Coyote Rodeo brought their fresh sound to Asheville Music Hall. Music lovers, thats the kind of scene that makes our city pulse.

Today, dive into the outdoors with Arbor Day in the River Arts District from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Craven Street Boat Launch—plant trees, connect with nature, and feel that direct hit to our local ecosystem. Stick around the RAD for Sip & Shop till 5 p.m., sipping brews while browsing artisan goods that support our creative community. Art enthusiasts, Slow Art Day at Asheville Art Museum runs 12 to 4 p.m., inviting you to linger and really soak in the masterpieces—no rush, just pure inspiration. Then head to The Whale at 1 p.m. for the Hobby & Club Expo, your chance to discover new passions from knitting circles to hiking groups that knit our neighborhoods tighter. Dont miss The Village Potters Grand Opening Celebration from 2 to 7 p.m.—hands-on clay fun that sparks creativity for all ages.

Sports fans, our Asheville Tourists fought hard but fell 4-3 in 11 innings to the Greensboro Grasshoppers last night—shoutout to Jason Schiavone's homer and Kyle Walker's two hits. Catch the next matchup tonight at 7 p.m., and keep an eye on UNC Asheville baseball facing Longwood at 3 p.m. with live stats rolling in.

On the community front, the Red Cross needs you today at Asheville Blood Donation Center on Edgewood Road from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.—one donation can save up to three lives, making a real difference right here at home. Downtown business owners are buzzing about APDs new safety push starting around April 18, doubling patrols to tackle vandalism and homelessness issues, pairing officers with mental health counselors for compassionate enforcement that keeps our streets welcoming.

Tomorrow, gear up for Spring Wildflower Walk at Asheville Botanical Garden with Dr. David Clarke, Asheville Jazz Orchestra at The Grey Eagle, and more. And looking ahead, The Haunted Farms Halfway to Halloween in May promises early scares to boost our tourism thrill.

This has been Asheville Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
