Mark your calendars! Culpeperpalooza is back and has expanded into a three-day festival! Culpeperpalooza is a celebration of some of Culpeper's best live music, craft beverages, food, craft vendors, theater, visual artists and community programs. There will be unique music collaborations between some of your favorite local musicians as well as special guest musical and performance acts to be announced shortly. New this year we will be introducing theatre performances and a celebration of the visual arts on Sunday.

The Museum of Culpeper History will be onsite with activities and the Culpeper Minutemen will be there in full regalia. We hope to have the Friends of the Rappahannock onsite as well as a range of other Community programs and interactive activities.

Friday night will open the event with the three great bands on the big stage from 4:00 until 10:00 pm. Doors open at 3:00 pm so you can get the best seat.

Saturday gates will open at 11:00 am and will be focused on highlighting music education in the county and Sunday will focus on theater and visual arts, with some great bands playing as well.

Sunday we've got Windmore's Stageworks performance of "Sam Club, Private Eye in The Case of the Malted Falcon" as well as Dance Performances from Boom Fitness.

Weekend passes and day passes available. Do not purchase tickets from anyone other than the official Eventbrite site.

Proceeds from this event will go towards supporting Culpeper's music programs, to include allowing youth to take advantage of Culpeper's music programs for free or at a greatly reduced cost as well as supporting other great Culpeper community programs.
