Vendor

The Waynesville Merchants Association is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the vitality of our local business community and historic downtown. Our events are built around the participation of vendors like you, who help bring energy, variety, and life to our streets while creating meaningful experiences for residents and visitors alike.

As a community driven organization, we rely on the support and involvement of local businesses, makers, and partners who believe in the importance of a strong and thriving Waynesville. Every vendor contribution plays a direct role in funding downtown events, marketing initiatives, small business support, and revitalization efforts that keep our village active and connected.

We truly value your participation and invite you not only to be part of our events, but to grow with us as we continue building something special in Waynesville.
