Stark’s Pub offers a one-of-a-kind family dining experience you won’t find anywhere else in the Mad River Valley.

In the warmer months, enjoy stunning mountain views while dining al fresco on the deck or from the comfort of the cozy indoor seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with yard games to entertain kids and miles of scenic hiking trails just steps from your table.
Whether you’re winding down after a day on the slopes or hiking in the Green Mountains, Stark’s Pub is the perfect spot to refuel and reconnect. Don’t miss our live music performances—après-ski in the winter and on Wednesday summer evenings. For a full schedule of musical guests, visit our event calendar.

July 4th Independence Day Weekend
2026-07-04
It is time to celebrate our country’s 250 years of independence Mad River Valley style. This year’s parade theme, “Resistance is Revolutionary”, comes naturally to a mountain community that takes pride in holding true to our ethos by resisting market forces in order to protect and preserve the Mad River Glen experience. As a fiercely independent ski area we know how important resistance is.
In that spirit, we are excited to celebrate our nation’s independence starting with a float and poster party tonight at 5:30 in the Basebox along with dinner at General Starks Pub from 4:30-8:30. All are welcome as we prepare our float for the Warren July 4th Independence Day Parade.
Friday night we open the General Store for a Pop-Up Sale from 4-8pm. Come on up and grab some MRG SWAG for your weekend celebrations and summer adventures. General Stark’s Pub will be serving up their Friday Fish Fry from 4:30-8:30. It will be the perfect way to enjoy some cooler mountain air with friends and family.
Saturday General Stark’s Pub is closed so our entire community can celebrate our independence. Speaking of which, we need you to join the resistance! We welcome our skiers to join us in the parade and show your love of our mountain and country. Arrive at the Mad River Glen Float by 9:30 Saturday morning, grab a sign, and be a part of our country’s celebration!
We hope everyone can join in the festivities throughout the Mad River Valley. As you plan your weekend here are some useful links to build your itinerary;

Opening Day of the 2026/2027 Ski Season
2026-12-12 09:00 - 15:30
December 11, 1948 Mad River Glen opened to the public for the first time, whisking skiers 2000 vertical feet to the summit of Stark Mountain on the Single. The American Steel & Wire Company had installed nearly 600 of these state-of-the-art aerial tramway systems across the country and together with Roland Palmedo brought lift-served skiing to the Mad River Valley.
