Arts & Culture

alive with spirit

Staunton’s rich history of arts and culture goes back to its days as a 19th-century rail junction and a center for travelers to stop over and enjoy opera, vaudeville, and a rollicking nightlife. That tradition lives on today. Staunton is buzzing with entertainment offerings such as the renowned American Shakespeare Center (year-round), the Heifetz International Music Institute (summer), the Staunton Music Festival (summer), Staunton Jams (bi-annual), and much more.
