PILLAR 3: COMMUNITY
Great Meadow is where community spirit comes alive. From regional traditions to new gatherings, we serve as a hub for connection, heritage, and celebration. In 2025 alone, over 200,000 guests joined us for events ranging from the Fourth of July Big Boom (10,000+ attendees) and the Virginia Scottish Games, to cross-country meets, rocket launches, and the annual Veterans Cup, held in the newly dedicated Veterans Stadium to honor service to our country and support charitable causes. New in 2025, the Music in the Meadow concert series brought friends and neighbors together for relaxed summer evenings with local bands and food trucks under the stars. Looking ahead, we plan to expand programming to include weddings, seasonal festivals and events that celebrate the region’s natural, artistic, culinary, and cultural wealth . With your support, Great Meadow will continue to be a gathering place that inspires joy, connection, and civic pride.
PILLAR 4: EDUCATION
Great Meadow also is a platform for experiential learning about land, history, science and horsemanship. Through partnerships with schools, local clubs, and nonprofits, we promote environmental awareness, equestrian and STEM education, athleticism, and civic engagement. The American Rocketry Challenge is the world’s largest rocket contest with nearly 5,000 middle and high school students nationwide competing on our grounds each year gaining hands-on experience designing, building, and launching model rockets and solving engineering problems. Through a diversity of programs, our setting provides an expansive classroom under the sky.
