Rolling into fall at Joy and we are super excited to be hosting lots of wonderful music and very special events…

We kicked off September with the talented Chicky Stoltz and Madigan Linnane who will be back again next month

This week we are lucky to have Pappy for another phenomenal Wednesday music night

Sunday music will return for an extended celebration of foliage from late September through mid October

The Sunday of indigenous peoples day weekend we are teaming up with Inklings Children’s Books to host our first annual fundraiser for The Amusements, a no cost strings instrument program for kids here in the Mad River Valley. We will pair small plates and drinks with strings instruments the reflect the feel, sound and personality of each instrument. RSVP through the QR code on the flyer!

Joy wine dinners are back- we will hold wine dinners the last Thursday of every other month from October through spring.
