The MAC-ISA Tree Climbing Championship is coming to James Madison’s Montpelier, and the public is invited to watch the region’s top tree climbers compete in a unique, family-friendly outdoor event! The competition begins each day at 8:30 am.

Spectator attendance is free, but advance registration is encouraged for planning purposes.. Bring the family, a blanket, and chairs. We will have kids’ activities, a recreational climb, food trucks, and exhibitors.

Join us for a BBQ dinner on Saturday, April 18, from 6:00–9:00 pm at the Montpelier Visitors Center to raise funds to send our champions to the International Tree Climbing Championship. Tickets are $30 per person for dinner (Kids 12 and under are free) and include one non-alcoholic beverage. Cash Bar will be available. Enjoy dinner, a silent auction, and live music by Scuffletown.

Advanced registration Deadline to attend the dinner has passed (as of April 9th) and unfortunately No tickets will be sold at the door.  You are welcome to still attend the free music and participate in the silent auction after grabbing dinner somewhere following the competition.
