“We are grateful to the Levitt Family Foundation and the Price-Campbell Foundation for their commitment to providing these free, live music experiences that our community has come to enjoy and expect,” said Turner Center Executive Director Sementha Mathews, Ph.D. “This year, we are taking two of our concerts off campus to share the joy at two well-attended community festivals. We hope all will embrace the 2026 Levitt AMP Valdosta Music Series to gather as friends and family and together reflect a community where everyone belongs.”
With the exception of two off-campus concerts on Mar. 14 and Apr. 10, the concerts are held at the Turner Center Art Park, located at 605 N. Patterson Street. The Turner Center Campus—located in the City Center Arts District, Valdosta Entertainment District, and the Valdosta Historic Preservation District—reflects the three goals of the Levitt Family Foundation: Amplify community pride and the city’s unique character; enrich lives through the power of free, live Music; and illustrate the importance of vibrant public Places.
