Fort Reno

Call For Entries 2026

The time is finally upon us to start the engines on the Fort Reno Summer Concert Series and set our sights on Summer 2026. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in the park and hearing what music is coming our way.

The submission window will be open now until March 30th.

Local musicians, groups, bands or ensembles are invited to mail or drop off music if you have it on vinyl, tape or cd. If you don’t have a physical format of your tunes, please email me to discuss.

Mail records, tapes or CDs to:

Amanda MacKaye/Fort Reno Concerts

645 S. Florida Street

Arlington, VA 22204

Introduce yourself/selves and music in a way that is creatively comfortable for you and expresses who you are. I’d like to hear what interests you about participating in the Fort Reno Concert Series and I encourage you to revel in the moment that you/your band can be more than a standard press kit. I’m more interested in who you are than what you have done, so press clips and such aren’t necessary. Don’t forget to include your name and contact information. 

The concert series is dedicated to building, supporting and replenishing the music life of the DC area by providing a performance opportunity for players of all ages. All are welcome.

THE DEADLINE IS March 30th

Please send any questions to Fort.Reno@gmail.com .

Sincerely,

Amanda
