The Stonewall Brigade Band’s summer concert season features a free concert every Monday evening at 7:30 pm during the months of June, July and August. Concerts last an hour or so, and are held at the Stonewall Brigade Bandstand in the beautiful Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton, VA (click here for directions).
The 2024 Summer Concert Series will begin Monday, June 3rd.
A program for each concert can be found below.
Lawn chairs or blankets are highly suggested as permanent seating is very limited. For the best sound, try to sit on or near the permanent seats. On any evening, come early for a parking spot inside the park (parking is permitted on only one side of the park drive for concerts). Overflow parking is available on Thornrose avenue on both sides of the street with easy access through the side gate. Only band performing members and concessions crew may park behind the bandstand, and parking is not permitted on mulch around trees.
Concerts are held regardless of weather, except in the case of severe electrical storms or park flooding; weather cancellations will be posted in the commercial closings section of the WHSV website. If it’s raining, bring your umbrella with your lawn chair, or sit in your car and enjoy the concert from there. There’s a tradition of honking car horns in applause on rainy nights.
If your business or community organization would like to sponsor one of our concerts, please contact a board member.
