Where Music Meets The Water — Join Us For The SML Songwriters Festival!

June 25-27, 2027

From scenic lakeside venues to hometown favorites, get ready to experience great music in the heart of Smith Mountain Lake! The SML Songwriters Festival proudly showcases more than 20 accomplished songwriters, primarily from Nashville, while bringing live, original music to our community.

We kick things off with our Spring Kickoff Event in April (details coming soon), followed by weekly Open Mic Nights every Wednesday at 6 PM, beginning May 12 and running through June 23. These nights give talented songwriters the opportunity to share their stories, showcase their original music, and connect with our community.

All of it leads up to the 2027 SML Songwriters Festival, June 25–27, a full weekend celebration of incredible music, talented songwriters, and unforgettable experiences at venues throughout Smith Mountain Lake.
