Best Place to Stay for a View of Wintergreen Fireworks

Are you planning your 4th of July or New Year’s Eve getaway to Central Virginia and are unsure what to do with your evenings? Consider checking out the fireworks displays at Wintergreen Resort. These two holidays, however, are exceptionally busy times for the resort, especially for rooms at the Mountain Inn, so it’s important to plan ahead and look for other, better options.

If you’re looking for a place to stay during the busy seasons, whether it’s New Year’s, the July 4th Jubilee, Memorial Day, or any other major ski resort holiday event, we have the solution. Check out our two rentals within minutes of Wintergreen Resort for your friends and family to stay at during your visit to the region.

Sunny days and sparkling skies in the evening!

Are you coming for the Fourth of July and looking to catch an outstanding fireworks display? Wintergreen takes it far beyond just fireworks with a whole lineup of festivities and fun. The celebration culminates with the fireworks display on the evening of Independence Day itself.

On the mountain during New Year’s Eve?

If you are in the area during this celebratory time, you will likely be looking for something to do with your evenings. After all, the fireworks only happen one night. Consider heading up to the Blue Ridge Mountains to catch the fireworks with the backdrop of mountain views. If you’re looking for a great party, check out the Upper Crust Pizza events. This spot often hosts great parties during the holidays.

Weekends with fireworks at Wintergreen are huge! Are you still looking for a place to stay?

The biggest weekends at Wintergreen occur around the Fourth of July and the New Year. As mentioned, these are exceptionally busy times, meaning the resort will likely be booked, but you’ll still need a place to reside during your stay.

If you need a place to stay during the holidays to catch the fireworks while also enjoying everything the resort has to offer, from axe throwing to rides on the Blue Ridge Express, bluegrass live music, chairlift rides, breweries and wineries, golf courses, snowboard slopes, winter snowmaking, and more, we have you covered. Our two- and three-bedroom rentals are ready for you and your family to create memories for life.

Two-bedroom Kickback Condo

Our two-bedroom Kickback Condo is a stunning, newly renovated, family-friendly getaway to Devil’s Knob. It’s just a short walk from the golf and tennis center, the spa, the Nature Foundation at Wintergreen, and great eats at Devils Grill and The Edge. You can relax every morning on the private porch overlooking the 12th fairway of the golf course with a connecting hiking trail that is ideal for taking the dog for a walk and exploring the Blue Ridge terrace area.

Even better, this spacious, private home gives you easy access to the entire Nellysford and Nelson County region. From breweries to wineries and beyond, your whole family is sure to have a great time. You might even check out a local celebratory block party. You’ll enjoy a huge, fully equipped kitchen, a gigantic common area with a fireplace, and two bedrooms with four beds. Both bedrooms and the living room feature a smart TV and free Wi-Fi for all the comforts of home.

Three-bedroom luxury Chalet on the Green

The Chalet on the Green is a luxury three-bedroom cottage right in the heart of Wintergreen.

Even beginners at winter sports or summer adventures will find lessons and activities to thrill.

While here, you will enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace, free Wi-Fi, an outdoor swimming pool, streaming services, and a library of books and games for you and the family to enjoy between exploring Nellysford.

Other firework shows this summer

If you get caught up exploring local breweries, cideries, and vineyards and cannot get back to your rental in time for the Wintergreen fireworks, fear not. Many other local areas also have spectacular fireworks displays, and most are a fairly short drive away.

Gypsy Hill Park

Gypsy Hill Park is located in Staunton, Virginia and is a 214-acre green space used for recreational purposes and events. Here you can enjoy hiking trails, a skate park, a dog park, and a ride on the Gypsy Express mini-train. It’s all situated around Lake Tams, which offers a serene getaway to relax and reconnect. The park features a grandstand and a sports stadium. It also offers fantastic Fourth of July fireworks.

Carter Mountain Orchard

Carter Mountain Orchard is just minutes away from downtown Charlottesville and places you in the heart of lush groves of trees with stunning valley views below. Visitors can enjoy pick-your-own peaches and apples events and find fun activities most of the year that change by the season. They also host a Happy Birthday America event every July 4th with live music, food trucks, adult beverages, and great viewing of multiple fireworks shows going off in every direction. No wonder it’s a popular spot for nearby University of Virginia students.

Sunset Park

Sunset Park is in Waynesboro, Virginia and offers a special fireworks display as well as hosting marathon races in the morning. Their display sometimes takes place outside of the Fourth, meaning you might get the chance to visit several shows. Sunset Park encompasses 107 acres of repurposed land with unspoiled nature views and tons of fun activities.
