Join partners from across the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor for the 2026 Blue Ridge Rising Two-State Summit, August 25-27, at Biltmore in Asheville, N.C. This year’s gathering marks an important moment for the initiative, as ideas shaped through listening sessions and regional planning are moving into implementation across the region.
Momentum for the Blue Ridge Rising Action plan has also grown at the local level, with all 29 Parkway-adjacent counties now adopting resolutions of support.
The summit will bring partners together to share progress, strengthen connections, and actively shape the next phase of work, with participant insight and collaboration helping to guide what comes next. With the implementation phase underway, there has never been a more meaningful time for communities along the Parkway corridor to participate and help build prosperity through shared regional action.
