One of America's Top One Hundred Festivals 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. Join tens of thousands of visitors as you walk across the longest, single span steel arch bridge (in the western hemisphere) and take in the views from 876 feet up in the air, Watch on as professional BASE (stands for building, antenna, span, and earth -- the fixed objects from which these jumpers leap) jumpers take the plunge from the middle of the bridge and expert rappellers dangle from beneath the bridges catwalk. Hundreds of food and crafts vendors support a full day of adventure.
NOTE: Pets, bicycles, carts, and strollers are not permitted on the bridge during Bridge Day. Coolers, packages, and large packs or satchels will not be permitted on the bridge for security reasons.
