Want to hold your own event at Natural Chimneys?

Open space and facilities are available for special events at Natural Chimneys and require the approval of a Special Event Application.  This application can be downloaded by clicking on the button below.

A Special Event is defined as any organized activity using park space that is either:
1)  open to the public or
2)  a private function that requires reserved space or special set-ups beyond the typical facility rental (a shelter, for example).

The park staff reserves the right to determine the location best suited for the event based on the planned activity and the appropriateness of the venue requested. 
Should you have such interest, please contact park staff by e-mail at camping@co.augusta.va.us or by calling our office at the Augusta County Parks and Recreation Department at 540-245-5727.       

  The Red Wing Roots Music Festival is now in its 11th year and is the largest music festival in the area. Thousands of people come out to the park in late June to enjoy the outdoors and some great music together. Festival attendees can either camp for the entire festival or just come for the day. Check out more information on the Red Wing Roots Festival's website. 

Hall of Fame Jousting Tournament - June 15

Natural Chimneys Jousting Tournament - August 17

For almost 200 years, Jousting has been a mainstay at Natural Chimneys. Two annual special events are held at the park on the seventy-five yard straight track complete with three evenly spaced timber frames. The first is the National Hall of Fame Jousting Tournament in June and the second is the Natural Chimneys Jousting Tournament in August. This tournament is the oldest, continuously held sporting event in North America, outliving the Kentucky Derby and the World Series. These events are hosted and organized by the Natural Chimneys Jousting Club and National Jousting Association.
