Bulldogs Basketball, Skating, and Holiday Cheer in Asheville

Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Sunday, November 30th, 2025. We're starting this Sunday with some exciting sports action happening right here in downtown Asheville. The UNC Asheville Bulldogs will take on Appalachian State this afternoon at one thirty at Harrah's Cherokee Center. The Bulldogs are looking to snap a two-game losing streak after a heartbreaker against Tennessee State earlier this week. That game came down to the final seconds, with Tennessee State hitting free throws to secure a 75 to 73 victory. Today's matchup should be competitive, with the Bulldogs favored by three and a half points. If you're a college basketball fan, you can catch the action on ESPN Plus. Speaking of things to do today, the Asheville Skating Rink is open at Asheville Yards starting at ten in the morning if you're looking for some family fun on this chilly Sunday. And if you're more of an art enthusiast, the River Arts District has Jaime Byrd's large contemporary oil paintings on display from eleven in the morning until four in the afternoon. The artist will be working on new pieces throughout the day, and there's even an interactive tech component where you can watch paintings transform into short films. It's a really unique experience that combines traditional art with modern technology. On the entertainment front, A Flat Rock Playhouse Christmas is running through December twenty-first, offering holiday magic throughout the season. And if you're interested in exploring Asheville's spookier side, the Eerie Encounters Ghost Tour is happening today as well, taking visitors through some of the city's most haunted locations. Don't forget that the winter holiday season is in full swing downtown. The Winter Window Display Program is featuring this year's theme of Toyshop Whimsy, with local businesses transforming their storefronts into festive works of art. These displays will be up through January first. And if you're looking to support local businesses while getting your holiday shopping done, the Shop Small Win Big rewards program runs through December twenty-first, giving you a chance to win five hundred dollars just for shopping at participating downtown retailers. Looking ahead, UNC Asheville will host UNC Greensboro on Tuesday at Harrah's Cherokee Center, so stay tuned for more local basketball action coming up this week.
