For many people, there’s no more picturesque setting to celebrate the holidays than in scenic Appalachia. Across Greenbrier County and beyond, there are several holiday events the next two weeks. Provided is a list of things-to-do to bring in the season.
Nothing says Christmas like the traditional parade rolling down the main strip. Bundled in winter wear, we line the street to brave the shivering cold mountain weather to see the creative floats and catch a glimpse of Santa. Ronceverte hosts their parade on Monday, Dec 2 at pm.
