Bridge Day
Bridge Day, West Virginia's largest one-day festival, celebrated on the third Saturday in October, commemorates the October 1977 completion of the New River Gorge Bridge. This year's Bridge Day Festival will be observed on October 20th.

When Bridge Day arrives, more than 200,000 people converge over the course of the day to take part the day-long festival. BASE jumpers parachute 876-feet into the New River Gorge below. Rapellers descend on ropes like caterpillars beneath the mighty bridge. More than 200 vendors provide delicious foods and fantastic entertainment!

Celebrate the festivities of outrageous fall colors and spectacular rafting on two rivers.   Plan on the Lower New River Class V whitewater on Saturday, October 18, 2008, Bridge Day.  Experience the thrill of viewing BASE jumpers as they plummet off the New River Gorge Bridge from a river view that is totally unique. Chow down on a fabulous cookout that night and an evening of Live Music in the lounge.  Brace up for the last day of Gauley River season the next day. 
            Package includes 2 nights tent camping, one cookout on Saturday, one/ two days of rafting. Trips are priced according to day: 

            Lower New Saturday                $ 99.00 per person
            Lower Gauley Sunday               $155.00 per person
