VENDOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025 MARKET SEASON ARE CLOSED!

The Black Mountain Tailgate Market is a producer-only member-run market with 20 member vendors and a community-led board of directors. The market hosts over 100 local vendors and collaborating nonprofit organizations, serving an average of more than 1,500 market-goers each Saturday morning.

This year, we are delighted to feature:

  • food access programs
  • live local music
  • art activations
  • culinary demonstrations and tastings
  • children's activities

With an array of locally grown produce, humanely raised proteins, artisan goods, and a myriad of local artists and makers, we are proud to bring the finest and freshest foods and the friendliest faces together for an expanded market season!
