A sophisticated approach to patriotic fashion, inspired by Independence Day events at resorts around the state.
The slate of events during Independence Weekend at the Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs (June 30-July 5) includes ballroom dance clinics and a stylish cookout on the Casino Lawn featuring live music and fireworks. Two hours east, Wintergreen Resort’s Fourth of July Jubilee (June 30-July 4) maximizes your time outdoors—fitting for a property famous for its stunning Blue Ridge views. A movie under the stars, block party and chairlift rides are all on offer, with fireworks set for Monday. For a waterfront getaway, Irvington’s Tides Inn hosts seaside festivities, including specials at Commodore’s, the resort’s poolside grill, water sports, and, of course, fireworks.
