Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Asheville right now.
The Asheville area has many tailgate markets, usually in parking lots where local growers set up temporary sales stalls on certain days, and farmers' markets, which are typically larger than tailgate markets and often have permanent booths. The website of Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP) has up-to-date information on all the region’s tailgate markets, U-pick farms, and farmers’ markets.
Somewhere between an art gallery, an antique mall, and a craft fair, a stroll through Marquee is like touring a museum of Asheville's most creative visual artists. Offerings range from whimsical decor to functional furniture. There's an on-site bar to sip while you browse, and leashed dogs are welcome.
This 1887 brick building, one of the oldest industrial buildings in Asheville, is a former factory once owned by Moses H. Cone, whose family mansion is on the Blue Ridge Parkway. With an exterior covered by a colorful mural, it's home to a music venue, photographers, boutique seamstresses, and a trendy tattoo studio.
Once the headquarters of Farmer's Federation, the region's leading agricultural co-op, this large brick building holds more than 30 independent art and crafts studios, along with the popular Wedge Brewery and other businesses. Grab a bite from one of the food trucks that appear in rotation in the Wedge parking lot and eat at a picnic table outside. Wedge Brewery has opened a second location in RAD behind Riverview Station next door to 12 Bones.
