WHAT'S FRESH!
While we let our farmers and artisans rest and recharge for the winter, we are cooking up an array of events and activities to keep our little market fresh! In March, we'll be coming in hot with a lineup of talented Local Musicians to serenade market-goers, improved infrastructure and unique market features, volunteer programs, and exciting new collaborations with local non-profit organizations. We can't wait to see all your smiling faces in March. Stay tuned for what's new at the Black Mountain Tailgate Market!
