Sing Out Loud Music Festival

St. Augustine will again host one of the biggest music festivals in the Southeast this September when the Sing Out Loud Music Festival returns for its event season. Sing Out Loud 2025 takes place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from Friday, September 5, through Sunday, September 28 (with one event on Wednesday, September 24).

In 2016, local musicians and music lovers organized the first Sing Out Loud Music Festival, presenting nine days of free concerts featuring an amazing lineup of national, regional, and local musical artists. Now, the event has expanded to include nationally known musicians performing at Francis Field, and the St. Augustine Songwriters Festival featuring Nashville songwriters performing at Colonial Oak Music Park and other downtown locations. Throughout the month, local and regional musicians perform on multiple stages or "showcases" throughout the area.
