WMA Event Sponsoring

Currently the Merchants Association sponsors four Waynesville Street Faire events; one is each month, June, July, August and September. Hearthwarming Holidays, also organized by the merchants, kicks off the holiday season during early November and is one of our most visited events of the year. We pride ourselves as business owners in bringing all the latest of the Season to all the shops for visitors to purchase and enjoy.  All shops and restaurants throw their doors open wide during Christmas in the Village to make it a magical time to visit while walking the town in the spirit of an old fashioned Holiday experience.  You will love the carriage rides, costume characters and strolling musicians that accent the festivities.

In addition to sponsoring these events, the Merchants Association also prepares a travel brochure for distribution, maintains a community website, and schedules cooperative advertising to benefit the merchant community.
