30th Anniversary Party + Swap Meet!
Jul 03, 2026
This summer marks the Albemarle Angler's 30th year in business! We are ever so grateful to our community for the continued support. From right here in Charlottesville to wherever life takes you, we have been blessed to be a part of your angling adventures. Thanks to you, we have been growing faster than ever before. To share our success and gratitude with y'all we are throwing a party and swap meet!
On Saturday, July 18th from 12-4pm we will be throwing down at our Barrack's Road shop: 1129 Emmet Street. We have a stacked schedule of events, sales, free food, and prizes to be won! Here are the highlights:
-
- Free food from Chick-fil-A and Brazos Tacos
- Fly casting competitions with prizes
- Free casting lessons at 3pm
- Giveaways
- Major in-store sales
As for the Swap Meet, please make sure your items meet the following requirements:
-
- Ensure your items are clean and in good condition.
- Only bring items you think fellow anglers would be excited to have. For example, leaky waders or damaged rods likely won't make the cut.
- Vices and tools are fantastic, but no loose materials please.
Once you have checked over your items, here is how the Swap Meet will work:
-
- Price your items and ensure this is displayed. The more details the better. For example, have a reel that is spooled with line? What size reel is it, what line is on there, how old is that line... etc.
- Bring your items to the shop by Thursday, July 16th.
- We will offer the items for sale on your behalf during our event on July 18th.
- The store will take a small commission on anything that sells: 25% for cash payouts or 10% if you choose store credit.
- We'll pay you in cash or store credit within 48 hours after the event so we have time to get everything organized.
We can't wait to celebrate with you! Come down, have some fun, and follow us on Instagram @ShopAlbemarleAngler to see some of the items rolling into the shop for the meet. Here is some of the latest
