In 1964, we opened the first outdoor gear shop in Western North Carolina: a 900 sq. ft. garage full of factory seconds. Over the years, Diamond Brand Outdoors has grown to include much more than camping products, but our dedication to quality brands, high service, and community partnership continues to echo through our retail stores. You’ve been great friends and neighbors, voting us Best of WNC for the past 12 years and making us the first stop for adventure for generations.
We’re celebrating with Campapalooza from 10:00-7:00 on April 9 at our store in Parkway Center (1378 Hendersonville Road). It’s a chance to upgrade or add to your camping collection with one-day-only discounts, prizes, and giveaways. Camping experts will be hosting clinics and workshops throughout the day. You’ll also have the opportunity to try out our favorite tents, sleeping bags, stoves, pads, and more. We’ll also be presenting a Columbia/Grassroots Outdoor Alliance Belay Grant to North Carolina Outward Bound School at noon to further the reach of the Intercept Program.
The best part: the fun, discounts, and education are free and open to the public. There’s no membership required! Let us know you’re coming on Facebook. You can also sign up for an email reminder.
Giveaways & Raffles
Throughout the day, we’ll have raffles and trivia with prizes from Osprey, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, ENO, CLIF Bar, Gregory, Hydro Flask, Chaco, and more. We’ll even have a prize bucket at the registers so you can get a bonus with your purchase! There’s even a cool Adventure Giveaway with a Mountain Hardwear Scrambler 30, Chacos, 24oz S Hydro Flask, and organic goodness from CLIF Bar. You don’t have to be present to win, but you do have to fill out an entry at the store!
