New River Gorge Area Summer Events
Warm summer weather means great days outdoors when the river water is warmer, the mountain greenery is lush and evenings are comfortable for lazing outdoors.
Find a festival! Arts and crafts, music and dancing, fireworks and fun are on tap throughout the summer as our delightful small towns put on their best show for residents and guests.
Challenge yourself during Captain Thurmond’s Challenge when competitors vie for first place in a nontraditional race that includes mountain biking, kayaking and a cross-country run. Special kids events make it fun for the whole family!
