Charlottesville’s Festival with Heart, Flavor & Fresh Sounds
10•25•2025
Discover new music, savor local flavors, and make memories for the whole family at the Jamboree.
We keep the festival spirit alive—just with a Charlottesville twist—at the Fairview Swim & Tennis Club from 11am-7pm on Saturday, Oct. 25. Our stage features rising bands and artists you won’t hear anywhere else in town, our Kids Zone is led by early childhood educators to spark creativity and play, and our vendor market showcases handcrafted treasures from local makers. Add in a thoughtfully curated menu of regional beer, cider, and wine, and you’ve got more than just a festival—you’ve got a community celebration you’ll want to come back to year after year.
Live Music You Won’t Forget
This year’s Jamboree stage is packed with talent that blends soulful storytelling, high-energy jams, and unforgettable melodies. Paul McDonald and the Mourning Doves bring soaring vocals and heartfelt Americana, while the Jen Tal Band delivers groove-driven tunes that get you moving. Mike Miz infuses roots rock with raw, road-worn emotion, and Lilly Winwood captivates with her fresh take on folk and country. Together, they create a soundtrack that’s pure magic for a Charlottesville fall day.
Kids Zone Powered by Pikasso Swig
The Jamboree’s Kids Zone comes to life thanks to the creative minds at Pikasso Swig. With a team of early childhood educators at the helm, little festival-goers can dive into hands-on arts & crafts, sensory play stations, lawn games, and more. Pikasso Swig ensures every activity is not just fun, but meaningful—nurturing imagination, curiosity, and connection while parents enjoy the rest of the festival knowing their kids are in caring, experienced hands.
Local Treasures at Every Turn
Our vendor booths bring the heart of the region straight to the Jamboree. Each maker is hand-selected for their craftsmanship and connection to the community, offering everything from handmade furniture and one-of-a-kind jewelry to artisanal soaps, clothing, and more. By shopping here, you’re not just finding something beautiful—you’re supporting local talent and taking home a piece of Charlottesville creativity.
Flavors on Wheels
When it’s time to refuel, our handpicked lineup of food trucks is ready to serve up something delicious for every craving. From sizzling street eats and fresh, local bites to sweet treats you’ll want seconds of, each truck brings its own unique flavor to the Jamboree. Whether you’re in the mood for comfort food classics or bold new tastes, you’ll find it here.
