The Town of Purcellville has unveiled the full lineup for its 12th Annual Purcellville Music & Arts Festival, set for Saturday, April 25, from noon to 7 p.m. at Fireman’s Field Park.

The free, family-friendly event will take place rain or shine and will feature a full day of live music, art exhibits, performances and interactive activities. This year’s festival also incorporates themes celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Festivalgoers can expect performances across multiple stages. The Dillon’s Woods Stage, located behind Fireman’s Field, will host a lineup beginning at noon with The Dogs of Puerto Rico, followed by Sidetracked at 1 p.m., Gary Smallwood at 2:15 p.m., the Robby Limon Band at 3:30 p.m., Melissa Quinn Fox at 4:45 p.m., and The Mudcats closing out the evening at 6 p.m.

Inside the Bush Tabernacle Skating Rink, the Art Hall Stage will feature a rotating schedule of performances, including the Rigatoni Trio, Hoppin Molly, The Petty Thieves, the Dance Academy of Loudoun, DJ Kessinger and the Celtic Rhythm School of Dance.

A Community Stage adjacent to the skating rink will run throughout the day, where attendees can participate in interactive experiences such as creating their own music with TunesScript.AI.

The Bush Tabernacle Skating Rink will also be transformed into an Art Hall showcasing more than 50 works by local artists. Nearly 40 pieces will reflect themes tied to the America 250 celebration. Visitors will be invited to vote for their favorite works, with top artists in each category receiving recognition from the Purcellville Arts Council.

In addition to live entertainment and visual art, the festival will offer activities for all ages, including games, face painting, glitter tattoos, henna art and customizable crafts such as T-shirt and tote decorating. A scavenger hunt will also be available, with participants eligible to win prizes, including a grand prize drawing for four season passes to Purcellville Cannons games in 2026.

Local vendors will be on site selling handcrafted goods, including jewelry, candles, woodwork and skincare products, along with a variety of food and beverages. Several area nonprofits will also participate, offering information and opportunities for community engagement.

The festival is supported by a range of local sponsors, including Renewal by Andersen, The Back Nine Leesburg, Northern Virginia Orthodontics, Bank of Clarke Foundation, Longhouse Architects, Valley Energy and others.
