Music at the Marina is Leesylvania State Park’s outdoor summer concert series featuring live military and local bands performing against the backdrop of the Potomac River. Starting at 7 p.m. and lasting until about 8:30 p.m., this year’s dates are Saturday, June 25; Saturday, July 23; and Saturday, August 27. Everyone is invited out to enjoy a fun and family-friendly evening of music.
Everyone may attend Music at the Marina. The event is free, however there is a parking fee of $7 for Virginia residents and $9 for out-of-state guests.
Attendees may bring their own blankets or lawn chairs to sit on. The stage is set conveniently in front of the park’s Breakwater Store where there is a large grassy area for viewing.
Last year, the park had about 800 attendees for the opening Music at the Marina concert.
This year’s lineup consists of U.S. Navy Band Country Current performing on June 25, Anthony James Band of the Stafford area on July 23, and a special guest on August 27.
Music at the Marina has become a staple among the park’s annual events, and park staff and attendees alike are looking forward to this weekend’s performance.
Following the show on June 25, Leesylvania State Park will be open late to allow all park guests to view the fireworks being set off by nearby Tim’s Rivershore Restaurant & Crabhouse. Tim’s Rivershore traditionally hosts its own “Not on the 4th Fireworks” event the same day as the park’s Music at the Marina, and park guests can enjoy a wonderful view of the show from the shoreline.
Music at the Marina would not be possible without the support of event sponsors Steve’s Auto and the Friends of Leesylvania State Park.
