Become A Vendor
The Black Mountain Tailgate Market is a producer only member-run market with 20 member vendors and a board of directors. The market hosts over 100 local vendors and collaborating non-profit organizations, serving an average of over 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!
