After-parties will be hosted at Rumbling Bald Resort, The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa, and Geneva Riverside Lodging and Tiki Bar. Other activities include dance lessons and performances courtesy of Asheville Ballet and a Lake Lift Competition. On Friday, guests will meet with Stacy Widelitz, co-writer for the song She’s Like the Wind. Food trucks and regional beer, wine and cider vendors get in on the action too. For two days, die-hard fans rally around Lake Lure- the original film site-for beach music, dancing and libations. While filming the movie, Patrick and Swayze and Jennifer Gray stayed at the inn.
“The festival attracts thousands of attendees to this area from numerous states and countries around the world,” says organizer Heather Meech. It’s not an actual filing location, but the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa is still of interest to Dirty Dancing fans. This year, it also commemorates the film’s 30th anniversary.
