Due to the destruction left by Hurricane Helene across the region, and in respect of the many men and women engaged in cleanup and rebuilding efforts, we will be closing the AVL Lit Tour season early, effective immediately.
If you would like to contribute aid to Asheville, Buncombe County, and our Western North Carolina communities, we encourage you to do so. Here are a few options:
- United Way of Asheville and Buncombe’s Hurricane Helene Relief Fund
- Community Foundation of WNC’s Emergency and Disaster Fund
- WNC Strong: Helene Business Recovery Fund
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope to reopen our 2025 season next spring on time.
