Outdoor Movie Night - The Story of the New River

Enjoy a movie night under the stars and bring your chairs, blankets, snacks, and more for the whole family!

The New River winds its way through three states (West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina) and countless communities who have depended on its bounty for generations. At 320 miles in length, the river is designated an American Heritage River and is part of the National Wild and Scenic River System. It is an ancient river and one of the five oldest rivers in the world.

Blue Ridge PBS has partnered with the New River Conservancy to tell the story of this magnificent waterway via stunning videography, fascinating interviews, and engaging stories from many whose lives are rooted along the New. The movie will be held in the Amphitheater in the Historic Village of Foster Falls. Admission to the program is free. VA State Park parking fees still apply.
