Fourth of July Festivities

Celebrate Independence Day the Stowe way—small-town charm with big summer energy. The day kicks off with the Fourth of July Parade at 12 p.m. ET on Main Street, followed by family fun, food, and live music downtown. Cap it all off with a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the sky over the Mayo Fields. It’s a community celebration that brings everyone together.

Outdoor Adventures

With long daylight hours and lush green trails, July is the perfect time to explore the outdoors. Hike to panoramic views, bike the Stowe Recreation Path, or take to the water for a refreshing paddle. Whether you're chasing waterfalls or just taking it slow, summer adventure is all around you.

Summer flavors shine brightest when paired with mountain views. Take a seat on one of Stowe’s scenic patios and enjoy everything from wood-fired pizza to local brews and craft cocktails. With warm evenings and live music nearby, dinner easily turns into a night out.
