Sing Out Loud performances virtual this year

Posted

St. Augustine’s fifth annual Sing Out Loud Festival will indeed go on this month, but due to challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, the performances will be presented virtually.

The much-anticipated festival is a free, multi-date, multi-venue event that features hundreds of local, regional and national acts. A wide range of musical styles is always represented, and the festival brings thousands of visitors to the county.

This year, performances will not be limited to the immediate St. Augustine area. Starting Sept. 12, Sing Out Loud: Virtual Sessions will take place each Saturday and Sunday, showcasing live-stream performances from several locations throughout St. Johns County.
