Happy Birthday America
Charlottesville’s favorite Fourth of July event! Gather your friends and family and come celebrate our nation’s 248th birthday with us.
Groove to live music from 6–9 PM with country, rockabilly, and blues tunes from the James 3 Band.
In addition to local food trucks—Popito’s Pizza, Vision BBQ and Arepas on Wheels—we’ll have mouthwatering ice cream, apple cider donuts, and the freshest sun-ripened peaches.
Indulge in locally made cotton candy from Posh Fairy Floss and show off your pride with face painting from The Glitter Bee.
Adult beverages will be available in the Carter Mountain Wine Shop and Bold Rock Tap Room.
Get your patriotic wine slushies from the Wine Shop!
