Rappahannock’s a place to observe more than the seasons of nature — there are seasons year-round of music, theater and other performances, from the intimate RAAC Community Theatre to year-round performances at Castleton Theater. Rappahannock is also home to talent you’ll often find performing at live music venues around the county.
Castleton Festival
Castleton Festival was developed as a training ground for tomorrow’s stars and presents recitals, chamber music, jazz, world music, theatre, symphonic concerts, bluegrass, opera and dance. Artists, singers, musicians, conductors, designers, directors, and stage technicians create and produce world-class performances for onsite and online audiences.

Readings & Talks
Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community (RAAC) sponsors a variety of readings, talks and story-telling.

Live Music

Gray Ghost Vineyards, Magnolia Vineyards and Narmada Winery in Amissville, Dark Horse Irish Pub in Flint Hill, and Quievremont Winery in Washington often host live music on weekends.
Soup and Soul presents a local artist describing their art and creative process. Held in host homes, these popular talks are followed by a pot luck dinner.
