Winter Wonderland at the Grove Arcade 2014

Downtown Asheville’s historical Grove Arcade is a spectacular spot to enjoy the holidays and support locally-owned shops and restaurants.

As to be expected, the Arcade will be “decking the halls” with holiday décor inside and out. The main attraction is once again the annual National Gingerbread House Competition™ hosted in partnership with The Omni Grove Park Inn. Come experience a Winter Wonderland full of wintery décor and gingerbread houses now through Jan. 4, 2015.

Grove Arcade makes the most out of this festive time of year and fully embraces the spirit of holiday décor while welcoming Santa Claus to Asheville. Warm and snug inside the Arcade’s Winter Wonderland, Santa invites Arcade visitors to check in with him for consultations on their holiday shopping lists. Santa will visit the Arcade Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 7, 14 and 21 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
