SUMMER UNPLUGGED
Trade screen time for sunshine
Step away from the everyday and into the magic of Waterville Valley. Throughout the summer, our charming alpine town transforms into a playground filled with creativity, laughter, connection, and old-fashioned fun. From tie-dye tees to twilight s’mores, fairy houses to Friday night live music—there’s something happening for everyone, every week.
Whether you’re a weekend visitor, a proud local, or simply passing through, we’ve got a seat by the fire, a canvas to paint, and a cornhole board waiting.
