Holiday Pub Club: Ugly Sweater Contest

We’re closing out the year with one of our favorite AYPROS traditions: the December Pub Club at Pillar Rooftop Bar! The space transforms into its annual holiday pop-up, complete with winter décor, a festive atmosphere, and some of the best views in downtown Asheville. It’s a relaxed, easy (and free!) way to connect with other young professionals as we wrap up 2025.
Whether you’ve been diving into AYPROS programs all year or you’re just getting plugged in, this is a great final meetup before the holidays slow everything down.

Ugly Sweater Contest
Bring out your most outrageous, over-the-top holiday sweater. If you can’t wear it to work, toss it in your car and change when you arrive.

Our sponsors the Brookshire Garside Group of Baird Private Wealth Management are covering the first drink plus appetizers to kick off the night.
