From a press release:
RiverLink’s RiverMusic series continues on Friday, August 29 with The Artimus Pyle Band and Andrew Scothie and the River Rats. Gates open at 5 p.m. and the music goes until 10 at the RiverLink Sculpture and Performance Plaza, 144 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District. RiverMusic offers local beer, food trucks, and the waters of the beautiful French Broad flowing right by the stage.
There will be beer service from two local breweries — New Belgium Brewing and Sierra Nevada.
These events have always been solar powered by long-time partner Sundance Power Systems, Inc. None of this would be possible without the support of sponsors, including The Chaddick Foundation, Prestige Subaru, Pisgah Investments, Heira Productions, Oskar Blues, New Belgium Brewing, Sierra Nevada and Catawba Brewing, along with media sponsors Mountain Xpress and WNCW.
RiverMusic is WNC’s most multi-modal event offering a bike corral, a new boat access allows attendees to arrive by boat and two non-stop trollies operating from 5 to 10 for each concert.
Trolley service is available for this concert with pickups in three locations:
In West Asheville, there will be service at Grace Baptist Church, 718 Haywood Road. The Grace parking area is towards the rear of the building. Parking is not allowed in the bank lot.
On the other side of the river, the trolley stop will be the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce, 36 Montford Ave.
Each RiverMusic event will feature different breweries and foodtrucks. August 29 food offerings include eats from Gypsy Queen, El Kim Chi, Avery’s Hot Dogs, Farm to Fender, Taste & See NC, and ice cream from The Hop. New this year is food and beer pairings — matching foodtruck offerings with selected brews. Ask at the foodtruck what’s special for this event.
Dogs, outside food and beverages are not allowed on the festival grounds, but attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and lawnchairs. There will be an ATM onsite, and credit card capability as well.
