Here’s a peek inside Cottage Treasures. It’s the kind of shop you pop into just to look around and leave wondering where you could fit one more piece of furniture. Volunteers run the shop inside the Saluda Center, and what you buy helps support community meals, wellness classes, and arts programs right here in town. Stop by Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 64 Greenville Street in Saluda.
It’s peak leaf week in Saluda, and the mountains are putting on quite a show! Downtown is dressed in shades of gold, orange, and red, and there’s no better time to wander our little mountain town. Take the scenic drive, stroll Main Street, grab a bite, and soak up the colors while they’re here. Fall doesn’t wait. Neither should you. #SaludaNC #FallInSaluda #PeakLeafSeason #VisitNC #FallFoliage
What a wonderful evening of community, costumes, and Halloween fun at our annual Halloween Stroll! From the creative costumes to the overflowing candy bags, it was a great night in downtown Saluda! A big thank you to our downtown businesses, the City of Saluda, and our police officers for helping make this event possible, and to everyone who came out to celebrate. We love seeing our community come together for traditions like this. Happy Halloween, Saluda!
McCreery Park is a wonderful place to play, unwind, and stroll along beautifully landscaped paths. And now, thanks to a partnership between Historic Saluda, Inc., the City of Saluda, and the Friends of McCreery Park, it’s also a place where Saluda’s rich history comes to life. From historic markers honoring the legacy of Dr. D. Lesesne Smith to the beautifully refurbished Saluda Lions Club monument, the park offers new opportunities to connect with the people and stories that have shaped our community. Take a fall stroll through McCreery Park, enjoy the changing leaves, and pause along the way to learn a little more about Saluda’s past. There’s more to this beloved green space than meets the eye!
What a beautiful day to take a drive through the mountains or come out and watch the Hincapie bike race roll through Saluda! Fall is just beginning to show her colors, and the sky this morning… just WOW! Not a bad view for the cyclists making their way through the mountains today! @hincapiegranfondo
Golden hour showing off in downtown Saluda as the first signs of fall begin to peek through. A little autumn color and a warm evening glow make for a beautiful evening on Main Street.
