Indigenous Peoples Day in Asheville falls right in line with the ideal time to see the changing colors of native foliage in the area, making a trip to this Smoky Mountain city a popular fall destination. Asheville is well known for its artists, musicians, chefs, and many other creative souls who have begun to call the city home, and because of these local citizens the city has transformed into a premier destination for food lovers, art and music enthusiasts, and folks who enjoy the outdoors. Fall offers slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity, making it far easier to explore the surrounding Smoky Mountains or the city itself without the trouble that the high heat of summer brings.
