Letter from the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to the Village of Blowing Rock!

Resident, visitor, seasonal resident or someone who is dreaming of relocating to our community, you are most certainly aware of the quaint charm of Blowing Rock. Often weekend visitors turn into week-long visitors, then possibly purchase a small cottage or cabin for multiple visits each year and finally some move up to a full-size home often at retirement. Our historic downtown is a picturesque background for the community. It represents the heart and soul of the town.

For many years, the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce has partnered with The Blowing Rocket / Mountain Times to produce “Blowing Rock My Hometown.” The goal of this publication is to showcase all that Blowing Rock has to offer year-round, from shopping, dining, outdoor recreation, the arts, and social events, to services, places of worship, and civic organizations.

The Chamber has been supporting the Blowing Rock business community since 1927. We take pride in our member businesses and their commitment to their products and world class service. We hope you will join us for one of the Chamber produced events: Art in the Park, held one Saturday monthly May – October followed by the Alair Summer Concert in the Park on Sunday afternoon, Symphony by the Lake in late July; or WinterFest in late January.

This year, you may find Main Street under construction. The water and sewer lines are being replaced to better serve you, our guests. You will also see several new hotels being built to accommodate the many visitors we are hosting. If you haven’t walked the new History Walk along Laurel Lane and around Mayview Lake, please take time to visit the twenty-one stations with inter- esting historical stories and narratives about our Town’s past that has propelled us to the Blowing Rock of today.

Blowing Rock is a great place to live, work, own a business or play. Stop by our office and let our friendly staff help you make your Blowing Rock dream a reality whether you are visiting or planning to relocate.
