WILLIAMSBURG BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL - HOSTED BY COPPER FOX DISTILLERY
Williamsburg Bluegrass Festival at Copper Fox Distillery
October 3 • 12:00 PM–9:00 PM • $55 ticket
A full day of bluegrass, smoke‑kissed barbecue, and Copper Fox hospitality comes to Williamsburg this fall — all in support of Habitat for Humanity. From noon until the final note at 9 PM, guests can settle in for an immersive celebration of Appalachian sound, Virginia flavor, and community spirit. This year’s festival proudly serves as a fundraiser, with a portion of all ticket sales and cocktail sales donated directly to Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg to help build homes and strengthen local families.
Join us as we release our annual barrels of Maple Cask Chestnut American Whisky, crafted just for this season.
Your $55 ticket includes a welcome tasting of our newly launched Maple Cask Chestnut American Whisky, plus all‑you‑can‑eat smoked pulled‑pork BBQ, classic Southern sides, and the easygoing charm of an autumn afternoon in Williamsburg.
🎶 Musical Lineup
Talita Band: 12 PM–3 PM A bright, energetic opener blending traditional & bluegrass roots with modern flair.
Jacob Vanko: 3 PM–6 PM Smooth, roots‑driven style perfect for Bourbon and grooving as you gear up for the headliners!
The Asheville Mountain Boys: 6 PM–9 PM A world‑famous headliner delivering virtuosic picking, soulful vocals, and rich Americana storytelling as they close out the evening.
🌾 Atmosphere
Expect a relaxed, rustic setting infused with Copper Fox’s signature aesthetic — warm wood, glowing copper, and the scent of smoked oak drifting through the air. Families, friends, and bluegrass lovers can spread out, settle in, and enjoy a full day of music and flavor as the sun sets over Williamsburg.
Comfy chairs are highly encouraged for guests spending the day with us.
Carpooling is recommended due to limited parking, as we anticipate a full sell‑out.
