Celebrating our proud nation’s 250th birthday this July 4th with music, local vendors, food, drink, activities for the family, lift rides, and fireworks is the way to go.
3. Wintergreen Music Festival

The Wintergreen Music Festival has events for lovers of many different musical genres throughout July. Music with coffee–check. Music with wine–check. Music with guided hikes–check. Music at sunset–check. Personally, I am excited to see Desiree Roots the evening of July 18th. Anyone else? Check out all of the scheduled events here:
