As some resources return and businesses begin to navigate the post-storm landscape, some local spots are ready to reopen. So the Asheville Downtown Association is organizing Doors Open Downtown — an initiative to fill the streets and shops of the city again.

The concept is simple. On Saturday, Oct. 19 and Saturday, Oct. 26, downtown businesses can display a red balloon on their doors to indicate that they're open and encourage folks to reconnect and support.

Businesses can pick up a balloon from the Downtown Association office, Horse and Hero, or Citizen Vinyl.

Then, on Thursday, Oct. 31, downtown will come alive for a Halloween Block Party. From 4 to 7 p.m., you and the little ones can trick-or-treat at participating businesses, listen to live music, enjoy kids' activities and restaurant specials, and bring your pup to a dog costume contest.
