Directions, Parking, & accessibility

Temporary Location Post-Helene

As of October 12, you can find the North Asheville Tailgate Market at the Stein Mart parking lot on 848 Merrimon Avenue.


Bikes, roller blades, skateboards, and motorized devices other than mobility devices must stay outside of market bounds as our market is very busy and crowded. Use our designated bike parking or lock up or bike at a bike rack on campus.

The nearest bus stops are Beaverdam Rd and Lakeshore Rd on at Merrimon Ave on the N2 ART route. Scroll down for bus maps.

Parking

Parking is available in the parking lots in front of Sav-Mor and Cecilia’s Kitchen. Vehicles can only enter via Merrimon on either side of Truist bank.

Accessibility Information

Our temporary market is outdoors on a paved parking lot with a moderate grade increase from the entrance on Merrimon Avenue to the Stein Mart. There are at least 4 marked handicap parking spots and additional accessible parking spots directly adjacent to our market vendors. One of our two porta johns are handicap accessible, and we have a hand washing station that is about 3-4 ft. high to reach. Most vendor stalls are accessible by rollator and wheelchair, but some may be a tight fit for mobility devices.

Seasonal Market Locations

Our market is located between two UNC Asheville parking lots. During UNC Asheville’s academic year, we are in Lot P34 on Edgewood Road next to Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church. From mid-May to mid-August, we are located in Lot P28.

Directions

From the UNC Asheville main entrance on W.T. Weaver Blvd., go up the hill on University Heights Blvd and continue right at the fork past Lot P28. Continue on Edgewood Road, past the entrance to campus and one stop sign. The market will be on your left in Lot P34.

From Merrimon, turn onto Edgewood Road where the CVS is located. After two stop signs, the market will be on your right in Lot P34. Visit our parking and directions page for more information.

Parking

No matter our location, we always have accessible parking available at our market lot. Parking is available in Lots P25, P26, P27, P28 or P34. Signs are visible throughout campus to identify each parking lot. Please refrain from parking in any other lots than what is detailed and shown below.

If you need any assistance getting items to your vehicle, shopping at various booths, or have ideas to better our accessibility, please visit our yellow information booth in the middle of market or contact us. Additionally, our market can be overstimulating for some due to high customer traffic and noise levels. We have weekly musicians and some bring amplification. Dogs are allowed and present at market.
