Belle Chere

Belle Chere is a music and arts street festival that happens annually in Asheville. I went on Saturday just to see the spectacle. The streets were packed and moving wasn’t easy, but with four stages all featuring different rotating bands, it wasn’t too hard to get close to the action. My favorite performer from the day was David Holt who plays old time music on a myriad of instruments including the whiskey bottle. I also saw lots of protestors and street preachers. It was all part of the spectacle that was Belle Chere, which incidentally translates to beautiful living.
