Olivette HarvestFest — Celebrating Farms, Food & Community
Saturday, August 23 | 3–6 PM | Olivette Riverside Park
Proudly Sponsored by Sugar Hollow Solar
Join us along the French Broad River for Olivette’s 4th Annual HarvestFest, a joyful afternoon of live music, local flavor, and community connection — all in support of ASAP’s Double SNAP for Fruits & Vegetables program.
Why Sugar Hollow Solar is Proud to Partner with Olivette
Olivette is more than one of our biggest community partners — it’s a vision of sustainable living in action. Nestled just 6.7 miles from downtown Asheville, this 411-acre planned “agrihood” community is centered around a working farm and powered by green innovation, from geothermal heating and cooling to solar energy on many of its homes. Together, we believe in creating neighborhoods that nourish people and the planet.
Supporting Fresh, Local Food for All
HarvestFest’s proceeds benefit ASAP’s Double SNAP for Fruits & Vegetables, which doubles the spending power of SNAP customers at local farmers markets. This program makes fresh, healthy food more accessible while supporting the farmers who grow it.
