I'm already holding two hotel reservations, just in case the trip goes ahead.
Downtown is definitely walkable. There are always street musicians around, especially on the weekends. And the drum circle is fun on Friday nights. But beyond that, I don't think there are too many free things to do downtown. Downtown Asheville now caters mostly to upscale tourists. Very few of my friends go downtown very much anymore. Most free activities are out in the mountains surrounding Asheville.
