Full Schedule for Sing Out Loud Festival’s 2026 Local Artist Showcases and Special Events Now Available
The countdown to September is officially on. As Sing Out Loud Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary, the full schedule for the 2026 Local Artist Showcases, presented by PNC Bank, is now available at singoutloudfestival.com and through the official Sing Out Loud Festival app.
More than 160 acts will perform free at 17 venues throughout St. Augustine during three weekends of live music: September 4-6, September 11-13 and September 18-20. Spanning indie rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and more—along with comedy and spoken word—this year’s lineup places Northeast Florida’s diverse and vibrant creative community at the center of the festival’s milestone celebration.
Celebrating the Artists and Venues That Make the Region Special
The Local Artist Showcases have been a cornerstone of the Sing Out Loud experience since the festival launched in 2016. Each September, the showcases give music fans the opportunity to discover established and emerging artists while exploring St. Augustine’s independent venues.
A decade later, that experience remains at the heart of Sing Out Loud: celebrating the artists, venues and music community that make Northeast Florida so unique.

A Taste of the Month of Music
Community collaborations are an important part of the Sing Out Loud experience, creating unexpected ways for local businesses, artists and audiences to join the festivities. This September, Sing Out Loud is partnering with local favorite Mayday Handcrafted Ice Cream on a limited-edition flavor inspired by the natural beauty and vibrant spirit of St. Augustine and Florida’s Historic Coast.
Spoonbill Guava Cheesecake is a bright and creamy guava-lime ice cream filled with crumbles of Mayday’s handcrafted cookies. Named for the iconic pink-and-white spoonbill that calls the region home, the flavor celebrates the area’s distinctive flora and fauna while bringing a taste of Old Florida to every scoop.
The limited-edition flavor will be available exclusively at Mayday’s St. Johns County locations throughout September, giving festivalgoers a delicious new way to celebrate music, creativity and community.
