So you don’t have the cash or the inclination to see the big Moogfest music festival that’s about to sweep into Asheville. That’s cool. There’s plenty more going on.
–Roguefest: This event looks like it’s moving ahead with its own massive music line-up. It’s taking place on Riverside Drive in the River Arts District. From Roguefest on Facebook:
RogueFest!!!! The Place to be on Halloween Weekend. Your tasty alternative, extra topping to MoogFest, or Main Plan this Halloween in Asheville!
