New River lodging is starting to fill up because it's that time of year again - Bridge Day is almost here! The Official Bridge Day Website puts it best: "We've got a bridge, and we've got a gorge - it's time to jump into it!" Yes, for those not already familiar with this event, it's like nothing you've ever seen before. One day a year, one of the longest, tallest bridges in the world, a major travel route, is closed down, covered in popup tents selling food and goods, and people wearing parachutes jump off of it into the New River Gorge. Seriously. They do. Would we kid you about something like this?
October 16, 2010 is the 31st Annual Bridge Day Festival at the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia. This festival celebrates life on the edge and is spectacular to watch. It's the B.A.S.E. Jumping party of the season - and the party of the season in general even if you're here on romantic cabin getaways or West Virginia family vacations and not planning on jumping.
