Fridays After Five Line-Up

The FREE Charlottesville concert series!
APRIL 17 - SEPT 11, 2026
Every Friday beginning at 5:30pm

Fridays After Five, presented by Bud Light, returns for the 38th Anniversary season of free live music and fun! 

The season kicks off with the first event on April 17 and will run each Friday thereafter through September 11. Each week, volunteers work the concessions on behalf of a variety of local non-profits who share in the proceeds, which raises tens of thousands of dollars to support their work in our community.

The summer schedule features local artists performing a wide range of musical styles and will see collaborations with a number of local organizations, celebrating the diverse and creative communities throughout Charlottesville; there is truly something for everyone. Unwind each Friday evening at this fabulous and FREE Charlottesville institution.

Special thanks to our sponsors who make these events possible:
