Asheville Local Frequency: Frost Advisory, Art Museum Events, and Tourism Season Kickoff

Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Sunday, May 3.Folks, bundle up this morning because a frost advisory is in effect across most of western North Carolina until 9 a.m., with Avery County under a freeze warning until then. Temps dipped to around 42 degrees overnight near Asheville Regional Airport, with a high expected near 46 today, so protect those tender plants in your gardens before the sun warms things up. Speaking of warming up, peak tourism season is officially here as National Travel and Tourism Week kicks off through May 9, bringing a wave of festivals, live music, and visitors ready to explore our mountain magic.Head to the Asheville Art Museum this afternoon for some cultural delight. At 1 p.m., catch the Sunday Live performance by Diego Vázquez in the Windgate Foundation Atrium, free for members or included with admission, blending tunes with stunning art. Then at 3 p.m., join a free Discovering Art in Asheville tour led by volunteer educators, diving into the museum's history and collection, no registration needed, just general admission or your membership. It's a perfect way to connect with our creative roots and shake off any weekend chill.On the crime front, Asheville police charged a Georgia man linked to that bold March break-in at a downtown jewelry store, where thieves made off with over $350,000 in goods. The suspect's in custody, but they're still hunting a second person, a reminder to stay vigilant in our vibrant downtown.Looking ahead, New Belgium Brewing is toasting 10 years in the River Arts District with community celebrations that highlight their support through tough times like Hurricane Helene recovery.
