About
Asheville, NC
July 4th Pub Crawls
Asheville, North Carolina is known as the Paris of the South and sits in a mountain bowl formed by the confluence of the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers in the heart of the Blue Ridge. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, Downtown Asheville and the Wall Street area become the center of the official Red, White and Brew bar crawl, with drink specials at 10 of the city’s best bars, live DJs, and a crowd celebrating Independence Day in a city that has become one of the most beloved destinations in the American South.
Asheville’s downtown is one of the most walkable and distinctive urban cores in the Southeast. The Art Deco architecture of the city center, the concentration of independently owned bars and breweries, and the creative community that has built its home here over the past two decades have made Asheville a destination that punches well above its population. Wall Street, a literal wall-enclosed alley off Pack Square, is one of the most photographed nightlife spots in the state.
Asheville has more craft breweries per capita than any city in America, a distinction it has held long enough that it has become part of the city’s identity rather than a novelty. The city’s brewing culture goes back to the early 20th century when Asheville was a popular retreat for wealthy Southerners and Northeasterners seeking mountain air. The Prohibition era closed the breweries but did not kill the culture, and the craft beer revolution found fertile ground when it arrived here in the 1990s.
In 2026, the Semiquincentennial marks 250 years of American independence. Western North Carolina’s connection to the founding era is through the over-mountain men who crossed these same Blue Ridge ridges to fight at the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780, a pivotal engagement that turned the tide of the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. Celebrating the 250th anniversary of independence in a city at the geographic heart of that story connects the party to some of the most dramatic episodes in American military history.
PubCrawls.com runs the official event. Bars are confirmed before July 4th, drink specials are locked in at every venue, and your digital venue map arrives before the event. Check in at the starting location in Downtown Asheville at 6:00 PM, pick up your Red, White and Brew wristband, and spend the holiday night in one of the most celebrated bar scenes in the South.
The Asheville July 4th pub crawl draws locals from West Asheville, South Slope, and the River Arts District alongside visitors from Hendersonville, Weaverville, and Waynesville who come to the city for the holiday. Asheville also pulls visitors from Charlotte, Atlanta, and beyond who plan trips around the city’s reputation, and July 4th is one of the most popular weekends of the year to do so.
The event is 21 and over only. Birthday groups, bachelorette parties, friend crews from across the mountains, and couples who chose Asheville specifically for the holiday weekend all make the July 4th crawl a summer tradition here.
