Massanutten - 4th of July Fireworks? - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

We will be at Massanutten over 4th of July. Does anyone know if you can see fireworks from Summit units? We will be in #471 upper. Or where would the closest fireworks be? Thanks for your help!

I believe this year's fireworks take place on Thursday, July 2.

Why would the resort have fireworks on Thursday July 2 when people check in specifically for the 4th of July? I would call the resort.
I just looked at their site, and yes, the summer Fest is on 7/2. How dumb is that. I was planning on going next year for the 4th of July. Now I am pissed!

I also will be checking in on July 3. I just noticed that the fireworks is going to be on July 2nd this morning when I read the Summit owner's newsletter. I had the question last year when I made the reservation. But nobody at the resort knows the date. I think I got it figured out now by looking at the history dates. I think it is always the Thursday night before July 4th. I think they avoid the weekend checking in/out period to get the maximum participation.

So next year, 7/2 is on a Friday. Do you think they would have it on 7/1? Man, I am sooo annoyed.

Yes. I would bet on that based on past history.

Great....I check in next summer on 7/2....that really sucks.

Ann-Marie · June 15, 2009, 04:23 PM

Since I own at this resort, I have always picked July 4th week because it is very popular. So I figured next year I would save my week and go to Summer Fest. I might just forget it, and bank my week and go elsewhere.

The July 4th event has always been in the middle of the week. Never on a check in/check out day.

As a permanent resident though I can tell you that the influx of traffic on the weekends due to check ins would make it impossible for anyone to get around on the resort during this type of event. Even with the extra lanes on Resort Dr. I am sitting in traffic backed up to enter the resort at check in times now that summer is in full force.

JMHO,

Cindy

So next year I am to assume that if I have check in on 7/2 and 7/4 is on a Sunday, then it will be the week before as well? What happens if 7/4 is on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday? Do they then have it on 7/4?

NTHC · June 28, 2009, 05:12 PM

I can't answer that for sure Anne Marie because we are typically at the lake over the July 4th Holiday. I don't recall that it has ever actually been on a weekend though.

I can ask around and see if I can get you some additional information.

Thanks,
Cindy

Going to Massanutten tomorrow. Now that we missed the Fireworks at the resort, is there another place nearby to watch fireworks tomorrow night?
