Staunton Jams is Back!
Staunton Jams is back this weekend, bringing live music to the streets, storefronts, and unexpected corners of downtown. Plan it or wing it, either way…show up and get ready for a rockin’ time!
What to Expect
Staunton Jams is built on a simple idea: music as a connector. When you come downtown you’ll find free outdoor performances on Beverley Street’s main stage, satellite shows inside some of your favorite downtown spots, a mix of regional talent, local favorites, and touring acts and always a welcoming, come-as-you-are atmosphere that invites you to explore and just bask in the magic of live music.
The festival spans multiple venues, from casual jam sessions to full evening lineups, creating a choose-your-own-adventure kind of weekend.
This spring, Staunton Jams is also aligning with Mental Health Awareness Month, partnering with local organizations to highlight wellness and community support.
It’s a reminder that live music isn’t just entertainment, it’s something that brings people together, strengthens connection, and supports overall well-being.
