ABOUT FRIDAYS ON THE CANAL

Fridays on the Canal is a free summer concert series held at Canal Basin Square in downtown Scottsville, Virginia. From 5–8 PM on select Fridays, the park fills with live music, food vendors, local beverages, and families enjoying a laid-back evening along the James River. It’s one of Scottsville’s favorite summer traditions — bringing the community together through music, food, and the charm of a small river town.
