Zombie culture enthusiasts and observers rejoice!
On
Saturday, September 20th Asheville’s newest riverfront concert and event space, the
Salvage Station, will become a mecca for zombie apocolypse victims and revelers. The all-day
FREE event is the official after-party for
Asheville's Zombie Float and will feature parking, food trucks, local brews and music from
DJ Molly Parti,
Lyric and
The Krektones.
If you live in Asheville, or have a pulse on living-dead culture (pun intended), you've probably heard about the “Tube-ocalypse: Zombie Float and World Record Attempt!” organized by local non-profit
Western North Carolina Alliance and
French Broad Riverkeeper. The event is an effort to beat Portland’s 2013 record for having a 620-person chain of tubers float down the Willamette River. Since there are currently over 2.4k people RSVP’d for the French Broad River event on the official
"Tube-ocalypse: Zombie Float and World Record Attempt!" Facebook event page, we think Asheville has a pretty good shot at crushing that record.
Participants, friends, gawkers and supporters are invited to start their river adventure at the Salvage Station - an official parking destination and river let-off site. Festivities will begin at 9:30 am with DJ Molly Parti and an AM coffee truck. Other food trucks confirmed for later in the day include Melt Your Heart, Doc Brown’s BBQ and The Low Down.
Salvage Station is located at 665 Riverside Drive along the French Broad River in Asheville, NC. Visit the
