The “Festival of Lights” is free and open to the public, and you are invited to enjoy thousands of dazzling illuminations throughout the resort.

Indulge in a hot chocolate and whipped cream bar, a soup safari and North Carolina BBQ during SugarFEAST.
BRAHM is excited to announce a series of Pop-Up Art and Craft Fairs to support area artisans recovering from the impact of Hurricane Helene. In the aftermath of the storm, many fall events across the High Country were canceled, leading to a significant loss of income for local creators.
Youth aged 12-18 are invited to join us at BRAHM every second Saturday from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm this winter for directed studio time inspired by famous artists. Explore new styles and processes for making art. Meet new friends and express your creative side. Free for the community. Reservations encouraged.
