2025 West Asheville Tailgate Market Sponsorship Application

Your presence with WATM will communicate to customers that you share our commitment to the local food movement, increased access to healthy foods, and neighbor made goods. Furthermore, placing your business in a bustling, community-oriented setting will provide a fresh opportunity to promote your products and services to our 17,000 annual shoppers.

Your support will enable a fun, connected, and safe shopping environment. It will help keep vendor fees low for farmers, cover necessary operating costs for the market, and underwrite the distribution of ‘WATM Bucks’-- a type of market money that is thoughtfully distributed to those in need throughout the year. Most of all, your contribution helps to foster a strong, compassionate, and healthy West Asheville community.

Sponsorships are limited.  If you are interested in sponsoring the market, please fill out this short form. After you submit this form, then someone from the market staff will respond to your request via e-mail or phone.
