Things to do in Haywood this week
Join thousands of bikers as they roll into Haywood's Great Smoky Mountains for the busiest motorcycle weekend of the year! Cruise winding mountain roads on Blue Ridge Parkway tours and show off your ride during the judged Bike Show. Compete in the fun-loving Bike Games for cash prizes of up to $1000. Rock out at nightly concerts, shop bike vendors, and fellowship with an expansive rider community. This is the oldest and longest currently running rally in Western NC––come get into the rumbling tradition!
Haywood Handmade Gallery's "Go with the Flow" exhibit celebrates the beauty, power, and importance of Haywood County’s waterways. In partnership with Haywood Waterways, this exhibition invites artists to create works inspired by rivers, streams, and other bodies of water—both literally and metaphorically. From flowing currents to reflections on life’s journeys, the show highlights how waterways inspire creativity while raising awareness of the need to protect and conserve our local watershed. Pictured work is by Peter Brown.
