SNOWSHOE, W.Va. -- Snowshoe Mountain is celebrating the nation's birthday in a big way.
Beginning July 3, the resort will host the first Snowshoe Bluegrass Festival, part of the Summer Music Series. Headlined by bluegrass legend Del McCoury, the festival will feature free live performances Thursday through Sunday on the Village Stage. Evening concerts Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, on the Skidder Stage will feature The Del McCoury Band, Larry Cordle, Larry Keel and others. Tickets for these shows are now on sale through Ticketmaster, or by calling 1-877-441-4FUN.
In addition to the live entertainment, guests can enjoy four days of family fun in the Village. Carnival-style games, a climbing wall, eurobungy and other attractions will keep kids of all ages smiling throughout the day. All of Snowshoe Mountain's regular summer activities, including Shavers Lake, Ballhooter scenic lift rides, the Snowshoe Mountain Bike Park and Split Rock Pools, will be open throughout the long weekend. Sunday, July 6, residents of Pocahontas, Randolph, Webster, Greenbrier, Pendleton and Nicholas counties are invited to our annual Community Day Block Party.
On July 4, after enjoying the sounds of Del McCoury and other bluegrass greats, guests will be treated to a spectacular mountaintop fireworks display. With the best viewing just outside the Village, this is the perfect way to end a fabulous day of celebration. In addition to all the entertainment and activities, Snowshoe Mountain offers beautiful summertime weather all season long.
