West Virginia Speedfest
dates not announced yet
A hillclimb up one of the most iconic mountain roads in West Virginia, plus car shows, spirited drives, live music, and a whole lot of horsepower in the Village. Formerly WV HillFest, now a four-day Speedfest. If you like cars at all, the sound of a time trial echoing up the mountain is worth the trip on its own.
Dates
