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
