Rivanna Roots

JOIN US BY THE RIVER FOR MUSIC UNDER THE STARS.

A collaboration between the Rivanna River Company, the Front Porch Music School and Sun Tribe Solar, Rivanna Roots is a family-friendly outdoor concert series held on the banks of the Rivanna River.

Families, nature lovers, and music fans gather at RRC’s riverside field to enjoy the talents of fantastic local and regional musicians. Bring a blanket or a chair, take your shoes off, and enjoy an evening of the finest local music and refreshment in one of the prettiest spots in Charlottesville! Ticket and drink sales benefit the Front Porch Music School’s Roots and Wings community outreach program. The Front Porch offers scholarships, music lessons, group classes, summer camps, instrument rentals, and concerts with the mission of connecting everyone through music! Adults and kids can sign up for Front Porch classes here.
