WINTERGREEN, VA – Wintergreen Resort celebrates its 40th anniversary throughout 2015 and will host the annual Wintergreen Summer Music Festival – “Cheers! Toast 20 Years of Music in the Mountains” in this 20th anniversary year of Wintergreen Performing Arts. This summer’s Festival honors WPA’s evolution and growth as an organization and debuts new artistic and management leadership. The Festival will again welcome music enthusiasts from across the country to Virginia’s premier Blue Ridge Mountain destination southwest of Charlottesville.
