828 Bail Bonds Shines Bright at the 2025 Asheville Holiday Parade

828 Bail Bonds is a proud Gold Sponsor • Community Champions • Toys for Tots Supporters

There’s nothing quite like parade season in Western North Carolina—and this year’s Asheville Holiday Parade was one for the books. The energy was high, the crowd was LOUD (y’all yelling “EIGHT—TWO—EIGHT!” lives rent-free in our hearts forever), and the holiday spirit was contagious from start to finish.

But what made this year truly special wasn’t just the cheers—it was the chance to show up for our community in a big way.

Proud Gold Sponsor of the Asheville Holiday Parade

As a Gold Sponsor, we were honored to help bring one of Asheville’s most beloved traditions to life. This year, 828 Bail Bonds was honored to be a Gold Sponsor of the Asheville Holiday Parade, one of the most-loved Christmas parades in all of WNC.

Being a sponsor isn’t just about having our name in the program — it’s our way of investing back into Asheville, Buncombe County, and the communities we work with every single day. Our team worked tirelessly behind the scenes and on the streets to make sure the parade stayed festive, fun, and unforgettable for every family lining the sidewalks. Showing up for WNC isn’t just something we say—it’s who we are.

Thousands of Smiles, Tons of Toys for Tots: A Huge Year for 828

This year, our team rallied harder than ever for Toys for Tots—and with your support, we delivered an incredible amount of toys to kids across Western North Carolina. From stuffed animals to craft kits to brand-new bikes, and goodies for all.

Every single toy represents a smile, a moment of joy, and a reminder that this community takes care of its own. These toys are staying right here in WNC, going to families who deserve a little extra magic this Christmas.

Unforgettable Crowd Moments

The absolute highlight?

An entire section of the crowd yelling:

“I SAY 828 — YOU SAY BAIL BONDS!”

And then random groups screaming “EIGHTTT-two-EIGHT!!” as we passed by. That’s Asheville. That’s community. That’s why we do this.

A Parade Full of Heart

Our Grinch rolled out, our team showed up and showed out, and the crowd brought every ounce of holiday magic we could’ve hoped for. From downtown Asheville to every hometown we serve—all 20 counties of 828—we felt the love.

This parade wasn’t just a moment. It was a celebration of community, connection, and compassion—the values that drive 828 Bail Bonds every day.

Thank you, Asheville. Thank you, WNC.

Your support means everything to us. Whether it’s a parade, a toy drive, or a moment someone needs help the most, our team will always be here—1st Rate in the 828 and beyond.

Happy Holidays from all of us at 828 Bail Bonds. We can’t wait for you to scroll through the photos… because this year? We showed up big.
