The beautiful new pavilion comes to life with a wonderful main stage lineup of diverse folk & roots music beginning Friday night at 6pm, and resuming Saturday from 2-10pm. The late night songwriter circles and campfire jams until the wee hours are open for anyone to participate or simply enjoy. The Sunday morning pancake breakfast (8-9am) is also open to all as a thank you for helping us take down the festival and restore their home & grounds to "the way we found it".

Meet Our 2024 Underwriters
We are thrilled to have considerable underwriting support from some wonderful regional businesses and organizations who share some of our mission, and/or our values and "vibe". Mountville is grateful to each for helping us make this weekend be an epic celebration!
Firstly a huge thank you to our Premium Supporter, our friends at Catoctin Creek Distilling Company. They recently added 3 huge international awards to their collection for their excellent quality & locally-sourced spirits, distilled right in the heart of Purcellville. Catoctin Creek is a pillar of our community in so many ways, and they are longtime local music supporters.
We are also delighted to partner with our Performance Underwriters, including Focus Music who present concerts all around the DMV (that's DC, Maryland and Virginia), and the Songwriters' Association of Washington who host showcases and workshops around the region for pros and aspiring songwriters as well. We're also grateful to include Moore Music (In the House) concert series from Rockville MD, a literal home for folk and acoustic concerts for over 25 years, and our local philanthropic organization, the Aldie Ruritan Club. Each of them helps strengthen our connections to our regional folk and acoustic music scene, and our local community.
With our Hero Underwriters, we're excited to welcome our western Loudoun neighbors from Shamrock Music Shoppe, our 1-stop shop for strings and things with strings, horns and winds, a great lesson staff and more. We're particularly excited to partner with the Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center, the support group for our local theater/concert hall and who make so much of our local concert, theater and gallery experiences possible.
