St. Augustine Songwriters Fest, 2026

The 9th Annual St. Augustine Songwriters Festival fills St. Augustine's historic district with music from Thursday, September 24, through Sunday, September 27, 2026. 

The four-day festival presents Nashville singer/songwriters, including some with local roots, for free concerts in four locations. During each set, two to four songwriters take turns performing, perhaps sharing how a song came to be, and often bantering with the other songwriters. 

The festival features songwriters ranging from legendary artists to current hit makers and budding stars, and always includes some local St. Augustine songwriters.

The free performances will take place at the following venues:

• Colonial Oak Music Park (27 St. George Street)

• Prohibition Kitchen (119 St. George Street)

• Tradewinds Lounge (124 Charlotte Street)

• Boat Drinks (123 San Marco)

• DJ's Clam Shack (21 Hypolita Street)

Admission: Free

When: Afternoons and evenings from Friday, September 25, through Sunday, September 27, 2026

Where: One of the above five venues, in the Historic District and Uptown (Boat Drinks)

Sponsors: The St. Augustine Songwriters Festival is partially supported by Bozard Ford, the Sing Out Loud Festival, the Colonial Oak Music Park, the Pirate & Treasure Museum, Jalaram Hotels, Inc., and VisitStAugustine.com.
