Thursday Evening Sunset Series

It’s the high note of your week!

April 16–October 1, 2026
6–9 PM

Join us for live music, food trucks, Carter Mountain Wine, Bold Rock Hard Cider, and the best sunset views in the Charlottesville area! Bring lawn chairs and blankets, or come early to snag a picnic table on our terrace or decks.

Please note:

• Additional tickets will be available at the gate only if the event is not sold out online.
• You must present your ticket for admission. 
• Children under 12 do not require a ticket. All children are the responsibility of the adult they arrive with.
• Event admission begins at 5 PM. Food trucks are ready to serve by 5:30 PM (we recommend getting your food early) and entertainment begins at 6 PM. 
• The event ends at 9 PM, and all guests must exit at that time. If you are using a ridesharing service (Uber, Lyft, taxi), please make your arrangements early in the evening—this area has limited drivers and it may take some time for rides to arrive. Our gates will be closed after 9 PM.
