Tucked into the rolling hills of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival blends world-class music with small-town charm and breathtaking scenery. Held at historic Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs, this beloved summer tradition has brought live performances to the region for over six decades.
Each summer, audiences gather under the stars at the Festival’s open-air pavilion, surrounded by mountain views and fresh country air. As the sun sets over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the first notes rise, the setting becomes as memorable as the music.
The Festival offers a diverse lineup, from country and classic rock to Americana and symphonic performances, featuring nationally recognized artists in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
This season’s lineup includes:
- July 17 – Little River Band
- July 18 – The Four Tops
- July 24 – Diamond Rio (with special guest Voth)
- July 25 – The LSO Big Band: A Big Band Birthday Celebrating America’s 250th
- August 7 – Original Beach Boy Al Jardine & The Pet Sounds Band: A Tribute to Brian Wilson
- August 8 – The Bacon Brothers: People In The World Tour
- September 5 – Hotel California: The Original Eagles Tribute
- September 6 – Hot Strings & Cool Breezes Americana Minifest, featuring:

A visit pairs perfectly with a weekend getaway. Package deals combine discounted concert tickets with lodging at Shrine Mont, making it easy to turn an evening of music into a full Valley escape. Spend the day exploring scenic byways, hiking nearby trails, or browsing local businesses before settling in for the night’s show.
Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a family outing, or a trip with friends, Shenandoah Valley Music Festival offers a uniquely Virginian blend of music, scenery, and tradition – an experience worth returning to year after year.
