About Bridge Day AND Bridge Day Deals

If you’re looking for some amazing Bridge Day deals and pacakges you’ve come to the perfect corner of the internet. But first, let’s talk Bridge Day. What is it, anyway?

42 years ago, the New River Gorge Bridge opened to the public. The 3,000+ length span was created to bridge the gap (see what we did there?!) between the North and South sides of the New River Gorge. The opening of the bridge significantly shortened travel time between the two sides, uniting Fayette County, West Virginia while creating an iconic landmark in the process.

A bridge as epic as The New River Gorge demands an epic celebration. In 1980, the first Bridge Day was celebrated on the New River Gorge Bridge. The festival brought in and continues to bring in thousands of spectators who marvel at the incredible engineering feat, eat delicious festival food, and watch BASE jumpers jump off of the Bridge. And while the Bridge is an incredible place to experience the sights and sounds of Bridge Day, we think the best place to take in the excitement is from below, while rafting through the New River Gorge.

While the top of the Bridge is jam-packed with people, down below you’ll experience panoramic views of the BASE jumpers from the best seat in the house-the river! And, you’ll get to raft through the fun and exciting New River Gorge first, ending your day underneath the Bridge and enjoying Bridge Day from below. Plus, ACE is offering up some amazing packages to help you experience all the magic of Bridge Day while helping you to save big on some great Bridge Day deals!
