Five-Star Festival

October 3-5, 2025

We look forward to welcoming back all classes 1974 and earlier, featuring the 55th, 60th, and 65th reunion classes of 1970, 1965, and 1960 for the Five-Star Festival in the Fall of 2025. It promises to be a great time to reunite with friends and reconnect with W&L.

  • The W&L Culinary Team takes great care to provide healthy, balanced eating options for our event weekends. We are committed to helping guests with their dietary needs. Each menu signage lists common allergens and traits so you can find the best options for you; whether you have food allergies, health conditions, religious restrictions, or simply need guidance or assistance with your food selections. We do our best to menu in a way that can fit most diets and common restrictions. We take every precaution to check ingredient information and to ensure that cross-contamination of ingredients does not occur. It is important to note, we do not have allergen-free facilities or serving lines.

  • Information coming soon.

  • We know better than to predict a forecast—things change very quickly here in the Shenandoah Valley, especially in the spring! Check the weather before you leave home. There may be activities under tents, being outside you may want to pack a jacket for the cooler nights and/or rainy weather.

  • Information coming soon!
