Variety Night
Lawn chairs or blankets are highly suggested as permanent seating is very limited. For the best sound, try to sit on or near the permanent seats. On any evening, come early for a parking spot inside the park (parking is permitted on only one side of the park drive for concerts). Overflow parking is available on Thornrose avenue on both sides of the street with easy access through the side gate. Only band performing members and concessions crew may park behind the bandstand, and parking is not permitted on mulch around trees.
Concerts are held regardless of weather, except in the case of severe electrical storms or park flooding; weather cancellations will be posted in the commercial closings section of the WHSV website. If it’s raining, bring your umbrella with your lawn chair, or sit in your car and enjoy the concert from there. There’s a tradition of honking car horns in applause on rainy nights.
If your business or community organization would like to sponsor one of our concerts, please contact a board member.
Directions to the Bandstand
From I-81 exit 225: At the bottom of the ramp go west on VA 262. (Left if on I-81 N. Right if on I-81S) Follow 262 past 3 cross streets and take the Churchville Avenue exit. Get into the left lane at the botton of the exit onto Churchville Avenue (US 250) and turn left. Follow 250 East/Churchville Avenue into Staunton. After you pass the first traffic light, watch for Breeden’s Burgers and Shakes on your right and turn right on the street at the end of their parking lot. Take the first left. This takes you into the park where you will have to turn right onto the park drive. Follow the park drive to the bandstand area (at the “Y” in the road stay to the left). Parking is allowed on both sides of the park drive for concerts.
From I-81 exit 220: Once you take exit 220 you are on VA 262. Take the 4th exit for Parkersburg Pike. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp. As you cross the city limits, this becomes West Beverley Street. Turn left onto Thornrose Avenue at the 3rd traffic light. As you pass Grace Christian School this street curves to the right.
