The Mad River Valley Village

4th of July Weekend at Sugarbush Resort
2023-07-01 00:00 - 2023-07-04 23:59 (America/New_York) | Sugarbush Resort, Warren, 05674
Unanimously voted the #1 Fourth of July Parade by everyone on the planet, the Warren Parade offers an ever-evolving, engaging and (often/sometimes) humorous take on our independence. You’ll want to be in Warren Village before 10 AM on the 4th to grab a spot along the route, but don’t wait until Tuesday to enjoy the festivities. We’ve got an entire weekend of fun for you with four days of live music, lift rides, swimming holes, parties, fireworks, and even a snow gun waterfall. (You’ll have to come up to Lincoln Peak so see what that is.) Checkout the schedule below.
Parade Shuttle Bus Schedule: School buses will begin running from Lincoln Peak to Warren Village at 8am. Lincoln Peak pick up is at the bus stops in front of Clay Brook Hotel. Take the earlier buses as it gets more crowded as the clock nears 10am (parade kick off). The bus stop in Warren Village is at the top of Covered Bridge Road. Buses will run throughout the day between Lincoln Peak and Warren Village with the final return trip to Lincoln Peak at 4pm. Sorry, no dogs, except service dogs, allowed on the buses.

Every summer, a freshly auditioned company of Smirkus Troupers, ages 10 to 18, take to the road in traditional mud show fashion for a two-month performance tour of New England. Backed by professional coaches, cooks, musicians and crew, our Smirkos perform to sell-out crowds in Circus Smirkus’ very own 750-seat European-style one-ring big top tent.
Each year brings a new storyline and original full-length show combining the best in traditional and contemporary circus styles. We give our Troupers the full experience of touring in a classic traveling tent show. That means a complete immersion in circus life. Smirkos endure rigorous training, daily chores and the loading in and loading out of the Big Top. They revel in the joy of performance and the camaraderie of a common purpose — the passion of a shared dream and nearly 50 shows in just six weeks!

Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory… or suffer the consequences. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder and new songs by Leslie Bricusse (Jekyll & Hyde, Doctor Dolittle) and Anthony Newley, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka is a musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.
Music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly
