Asheville is just one BIG Hippie Festival!

By: about

It doesn’t take long for someone to walk around downtown Asheville and notice just how many hippies are out and about around town. And it is not just your average hippie either. As we had mentioned in our Asheville Hippie article years ago, there are many types of hippies around town. We have just touched the tip of the iceberg. Even though many thought that hippies and hipsters were at variance somewhat; we can now say that out of Asheville has evolved a new breed.. the Hipster Hippie. Our friend Susu edited these photos with her own funky artistic style, and has shared them with us:

Asheville Hippie Hideout

Sure enough, in Asheville we are known for our hippies. Some have labeled us Hippie City USA, and others call Asheville… One Big Hippie Fest. I recently read on Twitter where someone said they finally found out where all of the hippies have gone, referring to Asheville North Carolina. Either way, if you have even a little “hippie” in you; you will surely like this place.

On the alot website, in the travel section, they have named Asheville #1 in a recent article titled “10 of America’s Hippie Hideouts“. Here is the full list:

  1. Asheville North Carolina
  2. Eugene, Oregon
  3. Boulder, Colorado
  4. Berea, Kentucky
  5. Burlington, Vermont
  6. Ithaca, New York
  7. Arcata, California
  8. Bisbee, Arizona
  9. Missoula, Montana
  10. Eureka Springs, Arkansas
