| Mountain State Forest Festival | Early October, running roughly a week and ending on the first full weekend | Elkins has limited rooms and books out months ahead for festival week, with the Grand Feature Parade Saturday the tightest night. |
| West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival | Labor Day weekend | Clarksburg and Bridgeport hotels fill over the holiday weekend, helped along by the I-79 corridor business base. |
| West Virginia Strawberry Festival | Several days in mid to late May | Buckhannon rooms fill for the main parade weekend, and Weston, Elkins and Clarksburg carry the rest. |
| West Virginia Black Walnut Festival | Second full weekend in October | Roane County has few rooms and the festival takes them, so most visitors drive in from Ripley, Parkersburg or Charleston. |
