2025 West Virginia Cookout Festival

Ellamore, WV

This family-friendly event aims to bring people from all over the Mountain State together to raise awareness and support for the West Virginia Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Attendees will enjoy free food and drinks, live music, games, contests, vendors, and exciting giveaways. We also offer VIP passes with exclusive merchandise and a perk pass valued at over $1,000, highlighting our efforts to make this event fun and meaningful. We're also encouraging people to purchase a VIP pack if they can't be in attendance, which will still buy them the complete package, shipped to their home, and also allow them to support a worthwhile event.

The Cookout is also a vital fundraiser. It actively seeks sponsorship and community donations to ensure its success and to plan for next year's event.
