This picturesque mountain town lies at the entrance to Pisgah National Forestmarking the crossroads between Pisgah, Dupont State Forest, Gorges State Park, and Bracken Mountain Nature Reserve. It is located in western North Carolina, about 30 to 45 minutes southwest of Asheville. With the moderate climate and surrounding environmental beauty, Brevard has become a noted tourism, retirement and cultural center in western North Carolina. Additionally, it is considered an exceptional hub for outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, fishing, biking, and kayaking.
What I love most about the city is that it really does have something for everyone, which is remarkable considering its small-town ambiance. If you’re not one for outdoor mountain activity, and you’re searching for something to brood your artistic side, there is no better place than this. The vibrant populace, along with the Transylvania Community Arts Council, continue to deliver diverse programs, concerts, and exhibits to our mountain community. Brevard is the home of Brevard College, a four-year liberal arts institution with nationally-recognized programs in music and environmental studies. Additionally, the town is also home to Brevard Music Center, one of the nation’s preeminent summer music teaching and performance institutions. With all of the notable support, its no surprise that the town boasts an extensive local music and arts community, hosting numerous festivals and artistic events throughout the year.
The city is nicknamed “The Land of Waterfalls” due to the many waterfalls in the area, including Looking Glass Falls, Connestee Falls, and Sliding Rock.
Brevard is home to the Brevard White Squirrel Festival. Approximately 25% of Brevard's squirrels are white squirrels, according to an annual survey conducted by the White Squirrel Institute.
