Brevard in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina proved to be an ideal spot for my (Jen Hatmaker-inspired but on smaller scale) Me Camp 2022 while my kids were at sleepaway summer camp nearby.
One of the best parts of the visit was going with my mom to see Steep Canyon Rangers perform at the Brevard Music Center outdoor Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium with the 2022 Brevard Music Center Summer Institute orchestra. The Brevard Music Summer Institute includes high school and college students. The concert was part of Brevard’s 2022 Summer Music Festival.
Not surprising for this music-centric town, Brevard’s impressive Transylvania County Library also has a lovely outdoor amphitheater for performances, where the plan was to see a free performance of Charlotte-based band Elonzo Wesley before rain moved the concert indoors.
A fun free activity to do with young kids is catch the FREE Savannah Belles ferry that runs multiple times a day across the Savannah River between River Street and Hutchinson Island.
We typically catch it at City Hall Landing on River Street. Park along Bay Street and take the outside elevator that’s between Savannah City Hall and the Hyatt Regency. There’s a glass window in the elevator with views of Savannah River.
You can take it across the river to the Trade Center and Westin Hotel, maybe walk around the Westin, go to the Midnight Sun Cafe (open during morning hours) or pack snacks to have on the lawn benches outside the Westin.
Or you can take the ferry to Waving Girl Landing by the Marriott on the same side of the river as City Hall Landing.
The Savannah Belles ferry operates daily year round except on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Days.
