2026 Wintergreen Music Festival Banner

Nestled in Virginia’s majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, the Wintergreen Music Festival is a month-long summer celebration of live music at Wintergreen Resort. Each July, world-class musicians gather on the mountaintop for appreciative audiences surrounded by stunning views and cool mountain breezes. From Classical to Bluegrass, Jazz, Motown, Singer-Songwriter, Broadway, and more — the Festival is a true tapestry of musical flavors.

Festival guests can also enjoy free morning Coffee Talks, LEAD Cooperative student masterclasses and intimate performances in an environment that feels like a relaxed “summer camp for adults.” With so much available to enjoy at Wintergreen Resort, including golf, tennis, spa services, combined with hiking and many of the best wineries, cideries, and breweries Virginia has to offer, the Wintergreen Music Festival offers a rejuvenating music in the mountains retreat you won’t want to miss.
