Fridays After Five!


In its 32nd season, Fridays After Five, presented by Bud Light, continues to be Charlottesville’s favorite live concert series.  Join your friends and neighbors at Sprint Pavilion on the Downtown Mall from 5:30 – 8:30 every Friday, all summer long!

Each week volunteers work the concessions on behalf of a variety of local non-profits who share in the proceeds, raising tens of thousands of dollars to support their work in our community. The spring and summer schedule features local artists of myriad musical styles; there is something for everyone! Unwind Friday evenings at this fabulous and FREE Charlottesville institution.

July 5 – Cherry Red with The Goop
July 12 – We Are Star Children with Kate Bollinger
July 19 – Free Union with Dropping Julia
July 26 – Randy Johnston 3 plus 3 with Spudnik

August 2 – Mama Tried with 14 Stories Band
August 9 – Adar with Dharma Bombs
August 16 – Second Draw with Calie Garrett
August 23 – Charlottesville Municipal Band with Salute to Swing
August 30 – Corey Harris with Tonia Ray and the Sound Machine

September 5 – The Skip Castro Band with Billy & The Backbeats

Note: Because of the UVA Home Football game against William & Mary on Friday, September 6, the final Fridays After Five performance of the season will happen on Thursday night at the Sprint Pavilion, immediately followed by the UVA “Paint the Town Orange” pep rally!
