Events in Blowing Rock

Leaf weekends are the crush: sweaters, slow traffic, and overlooks with a line. Ski season shifts the trip down the road to Appalachian Ski Mountain, and it can close the Parkway sections you wanted for a scenic drive. Summer is the older resort season. Warm days, cool nights, and a thunderstorm that builds after lunch.

The month-by-month calendar shows the shape of the year across both regions, including the quiet months.
