Headed to the 88th Mountain State Forest Festival (Sept 26–Oct 4)? Your fall week in Elkins starts here!
Expect parades and pageantry—the Grand Feature Parade, Fireman’s Parade, and Parade of Children—plus the Royal Coronation of Maid Silvia L###VIII on Fri, Oct 2 at 2 pm at the Citizens Bank of WV Outdoor Amphitheater at Davis & Elkins College.
Add live music, a carnival, 10K/5K, Highland Dance, Irish Road Bowling, and a lumberjack contest for a full slate of “Autumn in Color.”
Between events, make your riverside escape at Revelle’s River Resort in the Monongahela National Forest—near Elkins along the Shavers Fork.
Clean, comfortable cabins with heat (some with hot tubs), full-hookup RV sites, and tent camping with heated bathhouses. Four playgrounds, campfire rings at every site, pet-friendly options, and Wi‑Fi at the camp store and in select cabins.
Which festival tradition are you most excited to catch this year?
