The only adventure vacation music festival in the world is at ACE Adventure Resort in the New River Gorge, WV. May 31st – June 2nd Mountain Music Festival returns to ACE Adventure Resort for its fifth year. Featuring whitewater rafting, zip lines, and a waterpark alongside 25 bands on four stages this is a festival like nothing you have ever seen.

The New River Gorge in West Virginia is known around the world as a top-notch adventure sports destination featuring some of America’s best whitewater rafting, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Mountain Music Festival attendees are smack in the middle of all this action and ACE has the best guides to get your adrenaline flowing in the outdoors. Take a half-day rafting trip down the river and experience over 20 rapids, scenic views, and finish your trip underneath the famous New River Gorge Bridge. This is the most popular activity and ACE’s guides have been leading trips for almost 40 years on this wild and wonderful river.

Rather stay dry? Sign up for one of the zip line canopy tours and fly through the trees as you zip from cliff-top to cliff-top. Navigate this course on the rim of the gorge as your traverse nine different zip lines and two sky bridges. The grand finale is a 40-foot freefall off the plunge tower. Plus there are a ton of other activities to choose from including paintball, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, rock climbing, rappelling, and more.

With over 25 bands coming to the mountain there will be no shortage of great music at all hours of the day and night. Umphrey’s McGee will be bringing their new album “it’s not us” to the mountaintop and Big Something just released their latest album “The Otherside” so you can expect tons of new music. The Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company Lake Stage will keep music flowing on the beach and at the waterpark all day Saturday. Wake up each morning and wander over to the Tito’s Strange Stage for coffee and great regional acts.
