Through the support of BWXT, Centra Health, Framatome, and the Restoration Partners, the Academy Center of the Arts is proud to continue our four-part concert series in Lynchburg’s downtown Riverfront Park. The concert series will feature national, regional, and local music acts and will continue our efforts to serve our community through arts and culture by bringing world-class music to our city’s beautiful downtown park.
These concerts will take place on Saturday evenings and will be unique in genre and scope. We also set out to make these concerts as accessible to the public as possible with extremely affordable ticket prices. General admission tickets cost $11.00 (fees included) and VIP tickets cost $53.00.
All concert events are family friendly. Children 12 and under are free. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs as an alternative to seating. Seating is not provided at the venue. Food and beverage (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) vendors will be on site.
