Bele Chere Anyone?



This is the weekend that my city put on the largest street festival/party in the southeast US, know as Bele Chere. Asheville's most comprehensive, eclectic route to midsummer enjoyment, Bele Chere has festooned our downtown streets with her swell of noise and merriment for 24 years now – and when people talk about how much she's grown, it's hard not to rattle off the numbers that prove the point: Three days, nine stages, 100 performances – and, last year, a record-breaking attendance wave of well over 350,000 festivalgoers.


People either love it or hate it around here, as I'm sure most places that host such events do. But if you are in the neighborhood, you ought to try it *once*.
