Hilloween is back Saturday, October 25! This multi-day festival in Mitchell County celebrates Blue Ridge Mountain culture, supporting local youth, and bringing the community together for some Halloween fun.
After Hurricane Helene devastated WNC, Mitchell County became one of the hardest-hit areas, cut off from the outside world for three days. In the spirit of recovery, Hilloween is teaming up with Old Crow Medicine Show and Bandana Rhythm for the Hilloween 2025 Benefit Concert, happening Saturday, October 25 in Spruce Pine.
100% of all funds raised will be donated directly to the Mitchell County Development Foundation (MCDF) — with Hilloween proudly covering every event cost to ensure all proceeds go toward local recovery efforts.
Now, 98.1 The River is giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to this unforgettable night of music and community.
