Wintergreen
Nelson County, Virginia
Wintergreen Performing Arts officially kicked of their 2009 season Wednesday night on the mountain at Wintergreen Resort in the Evans Center. This year’s theme is Appalachian Roots: A Cultural Kaleidoscope and events run from July 6 to Aug. 2. Each week of the month-long festival features a part of the Appalachian Trail. Our Paul Purpura was on hand to grab these shots from the opening night which included a meet and greet reception as well.
“This year, festival-goers will find everything from theater, dance and film events to visual art exhibitions, cooking classes and wine tastings. There will even be a 5K Run/Walk event festival planners are calling “Appalachian Routes,” says Larry.
