Or gather with friends and family to enjoy a cold beer, live music or a movie at Mars Theatre Brewing Company at the Mars Hill Theatre. This renovated theatre boasts an impressive selection of brews and makes some excellent dishes including pulled-pork sandwiches and nacho platters!
There are tons of great hikes just minutes from downtown! Check out this list thanks to AllTrails.
