Due to the ongoing closure of Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park caused by Hurricane Helene, the Park's 69th Annual Easter Sunrise Service will continue its long-standing tradition at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (Tryon International) on April 20th, 2025. The public is invited to participate in this special event, which will take place at the International Stadium. The service will begin at 6:40am, with sunrise occurring at 6:50 AM. Attendees are encouraged to arrive as early as 5:30am to find seating and prepare for the service, which will be led by Foothills Village Chapel and, as is Chimney Rock tradition, feature live music by the Chimney Rock Bagpipe Band.

Following the service, guests can enjoy a variety of family-friendly activities throughout the day, including Sunrise Service Breakfast Buffet (tickets here) at Campagna from 6-9am, FREE Easter egg hunts for all ages at 12:30 and 2pm, and a pre-registered brunch at Legends Club.

Chimney Rock’s park naturalists will also be hosting FREE up-close encounters with their animal ambassadors and sharing insights into the area’s wildlife. Additionally, WNC Main Street will offer shopping opportunities from 8am-4pm to support local businesses, including those from Chimney Rock Village, impacted by the hurricane.

TIEC offers a range of lodging options, including pet-friendly cabins, hotels, and RV parking for those looking to make a weekend of the event.
