Virginia Symphony Concert

Cue the violins and the waterfront views! Spend an enchanting evening under the stars as the Virginia Symphony Orchestra fills the Yorktown air with music and magic.

Pack a picnic, bring a cozy blanket, and enjoy a night of breathtaking performances. The Fifes & Drums of York Town will open the show at 6 p.m., setting the perfect patriotic tone for this cherished annual concert, which officially begins at 7:30 p.m.

This free concert is presented by the Celebrate Yorktown Committee of the Yorktown Foundation with generous support from York County, York County Arts Commission, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts, as well as community contributors from organizations, businesses, and individuals. The volunteer-run Celebrate Yorktown Committee works diligently to raise the money needed to cover the costs of this special evening.

Because this performance draws such a large crowd, visitors are encouraged to arrive early and keep in mind the following important traffic reminders: Parking is available in the two-level parking terrace on Water Street, with handicapped parking located on the lower level. 

Additional parking can be found at York Hall, County Administration Building, York County Courts & Office Complex, and other designated lots throughout town. For this evening only, guests may also park at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown beginning at 5 p.m.  

To ease the flow of traffic, no loading of any equipment, chairs, coolers, etc. into vehicles will be permitted during or at the conclusion of the concert at the corners of Water and Ballard Streets and Water and Buckner Streets.
