Celebrate Bridge Day's 31th Anniversary in West Virginia
It's time for the 31th Annual Bridge Day Festival in West Virginia! Right here, right in the middle of the Mountain State, we celebrate the outdoors with a show you've got to experience to believe. We've got a bridge, and we've got a gorge- it's time to jump into it!
This festival, the state's largest, is all about living. Our setting, the New River Gorge, is one of the world’s oldest places, and BASE jumping is one of the world's most cutting edge sports. Above the famous white water rafting on the New River, jumpers, rappelers, and thousands and thousands of onlookers gather for the state's biggest party of the year.
It’s fall. It’s time. Welcome To West Virginia! Welcome to Bridge Day!

That is by far one of the most romantic proposals I have ever witnessed.

A lot of people experience the New River Gorge in about 30 seconds from their car window, a tragedy no doubt. Bridge Day gives you a once-a-year opportunity to take in the panoramic beauty in it’s entirety.- Erik Weber Lexington, KY
