Brevard Music Center

Imagine a place where music fills the air and where Beethoven, Mozart, and Verdi are alive and well. Starting every June, the Brevard Music Center presents over 100 performances and events, encompassing multiple music genres, to more than 40,000 enthusiastic fans from across the country. Virtually every one of the orchestra, chamber and opera performances – and some blues, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, and pops, too – is of the don’t-miss variety.

The Brevard Music Center also offers Festival concert tickets online for easy accessibility. Music-lovers are welcome to bring their own food and beverages for a pre-concert picnic on the lawn or purchase delectable treats on campus.

185 King Street

Live Music Venue, Beer Garden, and home of Noblebräu Brewing.  Tickets are required for most performances and it’s well worth it. The band is visible from inside and out in the Beer Garden. ✪ Meraki Favorite

 

DFR Lounge

They host private ticketed events including music performances, wine tastings, rotating food events, and bi-weekly Sunday brunch buffets with live music and dance instruction. They are located in the basement of Papa L.E.W. so if the event you’re attending doesn't include food we recommend dinner & drinks there first.  For last minute walk-in performances we suggest you go to their Facebook page.

The Grand Ole Station

Amazing views of Lake Toxaway, full service upscale restaurant, and a summer concert series that’s not to miss! "It isn’t always easy to marry a place’s history with a vision for the future, but the team at Grand Olde Station has successfully done just that by seamlessly combining so many antiques with modern ideas and pieces, such as a dedicated area for food trucks, a dog park and even a 24-foot outdoor movie screen and an area for some of the region’s most talented musicians to round out the ambiance." - Plateau Magazine ✪ Meraki Favorite
