The resort comes alive over the holiday weekend with live music, historic tours, family activities, al fresco dining, and a fireworks display that lights up the mountain sky. Spend the day exploring the resort’s storied halls, taking in the views from the Scenic Skyway Gondola, or watching your kids enjoy how summer should be.
