Black Mountain Helene Recovery Fund
In previous years, the Park Rhythms Concert Series was held in Veterans Park. In Fall 2024, the park was devastated by Hurricane Helene. Although the park is now partially open, it can’t accommodate public events. Repairs are ongoing as funding is available.
Your gift can help us complete repairs in Veterans Park and all of our town green spaces. Would you like to donate directly to the Town of Black Mountain’s ongoing Helene recovery efforts? CLICK HERE, and thank you for your consideration.
