What is Rockfish Gateway

Rockfish Gateway is Waynesboro’s newly rebranded East Main Street district, bringing together some of the best spots for craft beverages, outdoor adventures, and local experiences. Anchored by Sunset Park and Virginia Metalcrafters Marketplace, this district offers a mix of attractions like Basic City Beer Co., Blue Ridge Bucha, Common Wealth Crush, and Happ Coffee Roasters, all just two miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail, and Skyline Drive. Visitors can explore trails at the park, sip all kinds of craft bevs, listen to amazing live music, and shop at one-of-a-kind businesses, creating a destination that’s equal parts scenic, social, and full of flavor.
