Picklepalooza!
2026-08-14 18:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Asheville Sports Club, 137 Coxe Avenue, Asheville, 28801
Picklepalooza 2026 is a pun-filled, fun-filled event featuring a pickleball tournament, quick pickling and activities for the kids, and opportunities to learn more about fermentation and how to make your abundant garden and CSA produce last well into winter! 🥒
Pickleball Tournament
– 16 total teams of 2 players each can enter
– Players receive a single batch Picklepalooza 2026 shirt, a plus one free entry ticket, and a drink ticket
– First, second, and third place prizes sourced from local business partners
Proceeds will benefit WNC Food Coalition’s Fresh Food campaign: a seasonal fundraiser to help us stock refrigerated, free food pantries in partnership with community-based organizations across 19 WNC counties with local produce and locally raised meat, dairy, and eggs.
Together, we can strengthen our WNC local food system in THREE ways:
1. Hungry neighbors are fed fresh, nutrient-dense foods, creating better health.
2. Our local dollars stay in local businesses – food hubs and small farms – instead of leaking out to national and global conglomerates; creating a more resilient, robust local food economy.
3. The global food chain is disrupted, resulting in shorter distances for food transportation, easing the climate impact of our diet.
Party, play, pickle, and be part of building a better future for local food in WNC.

WOODY WOOD
Asheville’s own
Cosmic Appalachian Soul / Musical style that doesn’t fit neatly into any one style but is a genre-bending fusion of rock, blues, and soul.
ABE REID
Abe Reid is a North Carolina musician and one of the modern keepers of the Piedmont roots music tradition. Born in Forsyth County and raised in Statesville, Reid began playing guitar at a young age, developing a deep connection to the region’s historic finger-style traditions.
His musical education came directly from the source. As a young player, he spent time with legendary Carolina musicians Guitar Gabriel and Cootie Stark, learning not only guitar technique but also the storytelling and spirit behind traditional American music.
In the 1990s, Reid immersed himself in the life of a working musician, busking on the streets of New Orleans before returning to North Carolina’s music scene. He later helped form the roots band The Blue Rags, known for energetic performances and traditional sounds.
Reid gained international recognition when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis—becoming the first solo performer to win the competition.
Today, Abe Reid continues to perform, teach, and share the music of the American South, passing on knowledge learned from older musicians and decades on the road.
