Loudoun’s Summer Music Concerts And Festivals

May 30th, 2008 categories: For Fun, Loudoun County

Ashburn and Leesburg are hosting a summer full of concerts and events this year. I am not sure who started this outdoor competition but there is no denying that it is anything less than a battle of the communities. I say, “Let the battle begin while we reap the benefits of a summer full of music and fun!”

For the next few weeks I will do my best to outline these events. Just to let you in on who is involved thus far; Belmont, Broadlands, Brambleton, Lansdowne, Tarara Winery, Leesburg Town Hall and The Courthouse (these guys may have started it all- obviously not a community).

This week lets cover Belmont’s- Loudoun Summer Music Fest.

Loudoun Summer Music Fest

LSMF rocks Northern Virginia with a series of LIVE concerts that entertain over 50,000 adults and children at a series of magical summer concerts under the stars. Everyone dances, sings, and cheers. Ticket prices are low; audience partipation is high!For four months everyone’s favorite bands from the 70s, 80s, and 90s play their greatest hits, live on the lawn at Toll Brother’s Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, VA just off the Toll Road from Washington, D.C. The Loudoun Summer Music Fest is a hit!Profits from the concert series are donated to Loudoun County charities through the Loudoun Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
