75th Anniversary Commemorative Merchandise

Blue Ridge Parkway 75, Inc. is pleased to work in partnership with two official Parkway Partner groups – Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation and Eastern National – to offer unique logo-bearing items that commemorate the Parkway’s 75th Anniversary and complement the 75th Anniversary goals.

This unique merchandise is currently available at:

• Eastern National’s in-park sales outlets,
• Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation’s BRP75 On-line Store, and
• Through a comprehensive wholesale program available to local retailers, organizations, and businesses.

Items currently available include:

• collectible items, such as lapel pins and hiking medallions
• apparel items, such as caps, t-shirts, and fleece vests
• mugs, trivets, and coasters
• and much more!

One of the primary goals for the Blue Ridge Parkway 75th Anniversary program is to engage local communities and businesses in ways that support regional tourism and provide an even more meaningful visitor experience. From the earliest discussions about merchandise, it has remained important that the products be appealing, relevant, profitable, and accessible to the public and wholesale partners while also generating revenue for both the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Anniversary programs.
