The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2024: A Summer of Unforgettable Music

Since 1963, the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival (SVMF) has been a cornerstone of the performing arts scene in the Shenandoah Valley, offering an impressive array of musical performances each summer. As a not-for-profit organization, SVMF thrives on the support of Shenandoah County Tourism, the Town of Mount Jackson, numerous sponsorships, private foundation grants, contributions from businesses and individuals, and grants from the Virginia Tourism Corporation, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

This year's festival promises an exciting lineup that spans various genres, ensuring that there's something for everyone. Held on select weekends throughout the summer, the festival continues its tradition of bringing both legendary and emerging artists to the picturesque setting of Orkney Springs, Virginia.
