The weekend of June 17-18, come celebrate the rebirth of White  Sulphur Springs with a musical and arts festival on Main Street. A joint production between Cross  Creek Hospitality, 50 East, and White Sulphur Springs Rotary, the weekend will include live music,  art, local food, spirits, and brews, and activities for the kids. 

We gather to celebrate the incredible post-flood rejuvenation of White Sulphur Springs. This rebirth  is the shining example of what can be accomplished with cross-sector collaboration. With  businesses, local government officials, philanthropists, and volunteers all working towards a  common goal, the community has been transformed. 

The weekend festival includes concerts and events Friday and Saturday throughout town, kicking off  at 6:30 PM on Friday with a New Orleans-style jazz funeral parade from The Schoolhouse Hotel to  Big Draft Brewery Stage for a show. On Saturday, Main Street will be closed from 12-6 pm for some  of the best regional artists and craftspeople to display their paintings, jewelry, pottery, photography,  glassware, and more. We also welcome live performing artists throughout the afternoon, as well as  activities for the kids. 

Since 2016, hundreds of families in the Greenbrier Valley have been impacted and assisted by the  volunteer efforts in post-flood recovery. Because of this community centric philosophy, dozens of  new businesses have opened, including a concert venue, brewery, a private early learning center,  coffee shops, restaurants, spas, and retail shops downtown. Over 75 White Sulphur Springs residents 

moved into new or repaired homes. Five new parks have been built and seven others have been  renovated, including the city pool that long served as the hub of youth summer activities. The  community has also attracted larger scale investments, including the barrel factory and local meat  processing facility that continue to create good paying jobs in the community. Over 300 houses have  sold, dozens of new short-term rentals have opened, and property values have more than doubled.  We also celebrate the opening of the Schoolhouse Hotel, first fully accessible boutique hotel in the  world.
