Bridge Day Celebration Info - Go HERE
What’s Bridge Day? The short answer is it’s the largest festival in West Virginia.
But it’s more than that, really. Just saying “the largest festival…” leaves out the whole community feel of it. The tradition. The adrenaline.
Maybe if there were some more names for it, it would help describe everything that goes down…

“Y’all Are Crazy” Day-
The big draw, of course, is BASE jumping off the New River Gorge Bridge. If you don’t know, BASE is parachuting from a fixed object-in this case, a bridge. A spectacle.

“I Can’t Eat Any More… Well, Okay”
Day If there’s one thing you’ll find everywhere at Bridge Day, it’s food. From the Pancake Breakfast in the morning to the Chili Cookoff that night, (and all day long, too) there’s plenty of grub.

“This Place Is Awesome” Day When you see the big crowd, and the jumpers, and the rafters and kayakers below, and the fall colors, all from this engineering marvel of a bridge,
this is exactly what you’ll think. Promise.

“We Need To Stay Another Day” Day
There is no way to do everything you’d like to do in the New River Gorge in a day. Rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding,
fishing, ATVs, paintball, rafting, kayaking, and on and on. Sorry about that.

“I Should Get A Motorcycle”
Day It probably helps that West Virginia has more CRPC (Curvy Roads Per Capita) than any other state.
Whatever it is, Bridge Day draws tons of bikes.

“We’re Definitely Doing This Again Next Year”
Day If we renamed the festival after the phrase most often overhead at Bridge Day, this would be it.
