It’s right around the corner and you can almost smell the barbeque grills firing up for this upcoming Independence Day weekend. From July 1st to July 5th, The Greenbrier Sporting Club will be hosting activities to celebrate the 234th birthday of The United States of America. (Trivia: This year also marks the 50th Anniversary of the 50-star flag.) Whether golf and tennis is on your mind, simply relaxing by the pool, or say, even a grand red carpet event with celebrities, we’ve got a little something for everyone.

Friday, July 2nd, begins with some Ashtanga Yoga and moves on to tennis, golf, a scenic run, real estate tour, and ending with the Grand Opening of The Greenbrier Casino Club, a gala that will feature a five-star gourmet dinner, $300 in match play per person, and an intimate performance by Lionel Richie. Celebrities from around the country will be in attendance, including Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, Jane Seymour, Shaq, and Jack Nicklaus. For more information on The Casino Club, CLICK HERE.

Saturday includes a golf demo outing, Kids Movement at The Activity Barn, a culinary demo and float decorating. The big day – July 4th – starts out with a yoga fit class and is full of activities until the Annual July 4th Picnic on The Lodge Event Lawn, (Adults $65 / Children $35) with live music and a magician for entertainment, as well as the rubber ducky race. An after party will take things up to The Summit for S’Mores and an electrifying view of The Greenbrier’s Fireworks Display.
