For those who attended the Asheville Holiday Parade in 2023, this is the event for 2024. Due to limited resources after Hurricane Helene, the city has opted to hold an event in the city center park rather than a moving parade. Bring out your holiday mash-up costumes!
MEET AT 10AM at 164 College Street Garage to suit up so we’re ready to march across to Pack Square by 11AM. For the Empire!
Thanks to Sage West (Biker Scout), Winston Lott (Rebel Pilot), Dean Plantamura (Stormtrooper), and prospective members Sean “McCullo” (Mando) and Vindara Moline (Padme) plus handlers Erin, Abbie, and TK Brian for making it to this event!
It was really great to have 3 official handlers who also shot more than 60 amazing photos of the festivities in and around Asheville’s Pack Square in the heart of downtown. After the hardships of Hurricane Helene, event attendees were extremely appreciative of our Star Wars presence and we took almost non-stop photos for a few hours wandering through the crowds. We met radio personalities, local mascots, familiar neighbors, and even a pony who we referred to as Lil Sebastian. Afterwards we grabbed some hot food at White Labs Pizza & Brewing and enjoyed good conversation. We had quite a few people ask about our presence, so it was a great opportunity to spread the word of the 501st Legion and also our R2-DKrewe Mardi Gras group.
