Explore Downtown Waynesville's 'Love the Locals' retail campaign throughout the entire month of February!

Attention local residents! Get ready for a full month of exclusive savings and special offers right here in the heart of the mountains! This February, 2026, Downtown Waynesville is showing its appreciation for the local community with the return of the popular 'Love the Locals' retail campaign.

For the entire month of February, participating Downtown Waynesville businesses, from charming boutiques and unique galleries to cozy restaurants and specialty shops, will be offering fantastic specials and sales exclusively for our WNC neighbors.

We Love Our Local Shoppers

Shopping local is the backbone of our thriving Downtown district. The 'Love the Locals' campaign is more than just a series of sales; it's a heartfelt thank you to the residents who support the small, independently-owned businesses that give Downtown Waynesville its unique character.

When you choose to shop with our participating business, you're directly supporting your friends, neighbors, and the vibrant culture of the Gateway to the Smokies. This February, we’re making it extra rewarding to be a local!
