From coming up with a schedule of events to hiring speakers and building a guest list, planning a corporate event is not for the faint of heart. Keeping your attendees engaged throughout the event is important, and providing fun activities to do afterward can make or break any event.

If you are planning a corporate event in Asheville, NC, then we have put together a list of fun things that you and your guests can do for fun in Asheville.

Fun Things To Do in Asheville

Asheville is an eclectic city, full of incredible things to do throughout the day and into the night. The locals know how to have fun, and if you read this guide, your guests will have a blast after your corporate event. 

1. Enjoy a Scenic Drive

Right outside of town, the Blue Ridge Parkway connects Asheville to 469 miles of scenic highway. While you may not have a ton of time, several spots are close enough to Asheville that your group can enjoy, including:

• Craggy Gardens:  A 2-mile loop trail taking you through some of the most beautiful terrain in all of North Carolina. Among the rocks, the blooms of rhododendron, violets, blackberry, May-apple, and Turk's cap lilies turn this high-altitude ridgeline into a surreal garden.
• Mount Mitchell: The highest peak east of the Mississippi is easily accessible right off of the parkway. If you have time, you can enjoy a drive to the summit and enjoy a picnic up top.

2. Explore the River Arts District

Along the French Broad River, the River Arts District (or RAD for short) is an art lovers' dream. Galleries fill the old warehouse buildings, all of which are covered in beautiful murals. Breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants are interspersed throughout the area. Immerse yourself and your group in the art and culture of Asheville.
