Brevard Music Center

Brevard Music Center is, at once, a place, a summer institute, and a festival. The Music Center is situated on a wooded 180-acre campus in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Founded in 1936, the Music Center has matured into one of this country's premier summer training programs and festivals. More than 400 gifted students, ages 14 through post-college, come to the Music Center to study with members of a distinguished artist faculty and with renowned guest artists. For seven weeks, students participate in a vigorous program of instruction that includes ensembles, private lessons, and chamber music. Brevard's hallmark is the powerful sense of community that re-emerges every June, as faculty and students work together to present more than 80 concerts to the public. The total audience each summer numbers more than 30,000. For decades the Brevard Music Center has inspired devotion not only among its students and faculty but also among its listeners and among a vast corps of volunteers. That hundreds of persons have purchased homes in western North Carolina expressly to be near the Brevard Music Center gives some measure of the Center's significance to its community.

Reviewed By BlueMtnMama - Brevard, United States

Super cool, single screen retro movie theatre that makes you feel like you're back in the 20s and 30s--except with comfortable seats! We love the Coed for kids' birthday parties (where you can rent the entire space, show a movie of your choice, and get snack packs), new releases, and more. We love going as couples or as a family.

Connestee Falls

Reviewed By camara21 - Chebeague Island, United States

Connestee Falls is literally on the road. Pull into the parking lot, walk maybe a hundred paces and you'll see two falls converge into one - as they all follow the path of least resistance. Not a bad idea? Witnessing this natural wonder is easy respite from life's worries and cares.

Slick Rock Falls

Reviewed By Eastwardgypsy - Columbia, United States

Pisgah National Forest has quite a few gems, and there are dozens of waterfalls. This is an excellent addition to add to the end of a day! You can drive up the Forest Service Rd, which is a bit unnerving when there’s traffic because it’s only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. It’s gravel but in pretty decent shape. You can park on the side of the road and take a quick 2 minute walk to the falls, which are visible from the road. Catch in late evening when the sun hits it. You can trek up the road a quarter mile and see Little Fern Falls, which has no place to pull off. A short hike starting across from Slick Rock. Slick Rock is approximately 25 feet high from the vantage point, where you can fet underneath it. It’s probably 50 feet tall from top to bottom. A short steep stone staircase leads to a short flat path.
