A festival site for the EQT Washington & Greene Counties’ Covered Bridge Festival, the White Covered Bridge Festival is held primarily on the State Game Lands adjacent to the White Covered Bridge. The festival features handmade crafts, displays, public information tables, horse drawn wagon rides, Civil War reenactments, Native American living history, alpacas, and food prepared by non-profits. Local gospel groups will provide music on stage all day.

The festival is funded by generous donations from our friends and local businesses. It is staffed completely by volunteers who donate their time and talents to make the weekend a success.

The Covered Bridge Festival is the unofficial kick-off to the Fall festival season! Arts & crafts, home-style food, historical exhibits, unique entertainment & more – all amid beautiful scenery! Each covered bridge has a charm of its own that brings people back year after year.

Free admission and parking. Hours of operation are 10am to 5pm, rain or shine.
