Asheville, NC – World-record holder and high-wire daredevil, Nik Wallenda, will attempt to traverse a nine-story tall high-wire spanning across Pack Square Park from the city hall building to the rooftop of the AC Marriott Hotel. 

As a 7th-generation member of The Flying Wallendas family, Nik Wallenda has broken a number of world records by walking the high-wire over Niagara Falls, a live volcano in Nicaragua, the Grand Canyon, Times Square, New York, downtown Chicago, and he now has his sights set on the skyline of downtown Asheville. 

Halfway along his high-wire walk, Nik will pause, kneel down, and share his story of how he was ‘made to walk the high-wire.’

This 2-day event is completely free and open to everyone. Saturday’s event lineup will kick off with circus performances starting at 3:00 pm and culminate with the high-wire walk at 6:30 pm followed by a concert in the park. On Sunday morning, attendees will gather for ‘Celebration in the Park,’ from 9:30-12:30 with guest speakers and music. A free lunch will be provided.

The purpose of the event is to reach the community with the love of Jesus Christ and to unite the Christian community in service.

Arise Ministries is a non-profit organization based in Asheville, NC whose mission is to share the good news of Jesus Christ to the community. 

Please consider publishing this event on or before the week of AUGUST 12th, 2024.
