Labor Day Weekend – What to Do?

We are celebrating the end of summer by giving back to our awesome guests this Labor Day Weekend. We appreciate all the families, groups and die hard adventurers who always make ACE Adventure Resort a part of their summer plans. We dreamt up some awesome ways to show our love and appreciation for you all then packed it all into one weekend that you won’t want to miss. Weekend events planned for this Labor Day weekend include an outdoor movie showcase, brewery tour of West Virginia, clam bake on the beach, live music, a yard sale and some end of summer sales in our Outfitter Store. Make plans to have your holiday BBQ in the campground at ACE this weekend!

River Roots Film Showcase

Friday night we will be highlighting some amazing paddling videos from River Roots at our Outdoor Film Showcase. Led by professional kayaker Rush Sturges, River Roots was born from the sport of whitewater kayaking, where exploring and documenting rivers served as the foundation of their work. River Roots has grown into a dynamic content generator for leading brands around the world like National Geographic, Red Bull  and Mexico Tourism. We will be highlighting some of their recent whitewater films including Frontier, The Grand Inga Project and Chasing Niagara.

Saturday, September 4th from noon to 8pm you can sample brews from each of our represented brewers and take home a commemorative tasting glass for only $25.

Scheduled to join us for this event is Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company, Bridge Brew Works, Weathered Ground Brewing, Parkersburg Brewing Company, The Freefolk Brewery, Big Timber Brewing, and Sophisticated Hound Brewing Company. Cheers!

Live Music at The Lost Paddle

Dance on the deck of The Lost Paddle all afternoon and into the evening Saturday. Music is kicking off at 2pm and we have four bands slated to play while you eat and drink.

Next on The Lost Paddle Stage is Kind Thieves’ band member Archibald Johnson for a solo set. Abby Bryant & The Echoes will be making their return to ACE after playing Mountain Music Festival this past June. The Settlement will be sure to keep the party going into the night with their funk fusion jams. All these shows are free so come out and dance with us!
