The Britt Music & Arts Festival (Jacksonville)

Set on a scenic hillside just above town, the Britt Festival is one of the Northwest’s premier outdoor music events. With world-class headliners spanning rock, classical, jazz, blues, indie, and more, it’s where music meets nature. Bring a blanket, a bottle of wine, and settle in under the stars for a show you won’t forget.
Listening Rooms & Intimate Shows
Boutique & Curated Spaces | Year-Round
Some venues and lodges around the region offer ticketed listening room experiences — ideal for those who want to really hear the music. These quieter, more intentional shows are perfect for fans of folk, classical, or indie genres.
Expect: Seated shows, candlelit ambiance, and a connection to the artist.
Winery Concerts & Vineyard Vibes
Live Music + Wine Country Atmosphere | Seasonal
Local wineries host regular music nights — think acoustic guitar sets, jazz trios, and mellow singer-songwriters performing on garden patios or among the vines. It’s intimate, easygoing, and ideal for pairing a glass of Tempranillo with live tunes.
Expect: Lawn chairs, golden sunsets, food trucks, and a casual, welcoming crowd.
Pub & Saloon Gigs
Historic Bars & Local Hangouts | Year-Round
Several Jacksonville venues and nearby pubs regularly host local bands, open mics, and jam nights. From blues and Americana to classic rock covers and country sets, it’s a great way to experience the community’s grassroots music scene with a pint in hand.
Expect: Laid-back energy, no cover charges, and toe-tapping fun.
Folk, Bluegrass & Seasonal Festivals
Regional Events in the Rogue Valley | Spring–Fall
Beyond Jacksonville, you’ll find music festivals happening across the Rogue and Applegate Valleys — many with a folk, bluegrass, or roots music focus. These often include artisan vendors, food trucks, workshops, and family-friendly programming.
Expect: Multi-day events, community spirit, and lots of dancing.
