Come out for the Staunton Jams 2026 Spring Festival, May 1–3. Since 2004, this community-funded event has grown into a vibrant three-day downtown festival featuring multiple venues, regional talent, and fair pay for performers and production staff—all while supporting local philanthropic effort, and building community through music. This spring, our focus is on raising awareness and support for local mental health and wellness services, as May is National Mental Health Awareness Month.

The music starts Friday and continues through Sunday at venues ranging from Marino's Lunch to Baja Bean to the Blackfriar's Playhouse, with many artists including The Honey Dewdrops, Lee Bangah, ALL CAPS, Winegrass, and more, capped off with the Judy Chops on Sunday night.
