This weekend: An Evening of Live Jazz & Dancing in Staunton

For those looking for something to do this weekend in the central Shenandoah Valley, slip on your dancing shoes and head to historic downtown Staunton for some jazz and blues.

Start your evening with dinner at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel on Saturday night and then stay for dancing featuring Beleza Brasil and Bob Bennetta Quartet from 8-11:00 p.m.  Advanced tickets are $15 per person, or $20 at the door.

The Stonewall's Sorrells Restaurant, named after Jackson's trusty horse, will offer casual evening dining or cocktails by the fire. A late-night food menu will also be available for appetizers and desserts along with a full cash bar. Dress is casual-chic attire so don't forget your dancing shoes!

Want to make it a weekend getaway? The Stonewall is offering a special package deal for $153.00 that offers overnight accommodations, two tickets to the dance, breakfast for two, and overnight self parking.


Check www.ShenandoahConcerts.com for more information and make plans to head to the mountains. Kick up your heels and dance the night away in the Queen City of the Valley....
