After 15 successful years hosting the French Broad River Festival, the organizers have planned a 2nd Annual French Broad Fall Fest in the same incredible setting that will feature a few of the area's best resources: craft brew, great music and beautiful scenery. Just north of Asheville, Hot Springs is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking whitewater, fishing, hiking, biking and more. With the festival grounds being located on the banks of the French Broad River and it's intersection with the Appalachian Trail, festival-goers can enjoy all the outdoors has to offer.  French Broad Fall Fest is all about the music, craft beers, and food on one glorious afternoon.  Beer sampling through out the day and evening is included in ticket price.
