A Gamble Rogers Concert Series

The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival has partnered with the St. Johns Cultural Council to present a monthly series of Saturday concerts at the Waterworks, from October 19, 2024, through June 22, 2025.

These concerts celebrate St. Augustine's Gamble Rogers — songwriter, storyteller, guitarist, and recording artist — who taught, befriended, and performed with many of the performers on the schedule. Each concert includes two acts, one local to the region and one with more national or international acclaim. 

As each act is scheduled, we will add them to the list. Click on each date for tickets and information about each show.

Held at the Waterworks, a renovated historic building on San Marco Avenue, each concert is limited to 100 attendees. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

Admission: Season tickets will go on sale before the start of the 2024/25 season. Individual tickets are $25.00. These concerts often sell out.

When: Select Saturdays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. Most shows in the series will be held on the third Saturday of each month. 

Where: The St. Augustine Waterworks is located at 184 San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine's Uptown neighborhood.

While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida 32084, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only. Access to the Waterworks is through the St. Augustine Main Library parking lot. (Use 1960 North Ponce de Leon Blvd. in your GPS.) 

The St. Augustine Waterworks is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was built in 1898 to be a city waterworks. When a growing population necessitated the move to a new location, the building served time as a community center and theater and was later left unused. Now fully renovated again, this facility is accessible and has free parking, yet retains its historic architectural properties and charm.
