Dear Festival Attendees,

We are looking forward to having you at the 41st annual Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival. Lots of you are returning and we hope to see a lot of new faces as well. There will be many opportunities to witness the magical world of songwriting throughout the 11 days of the event. The Festival will take place in multiple venues from November 6th thru November 9th. November 10th through November 16th performances will take place almost exclusively at Festival headquarters, the Flora-Bama. Plans are for there to be multiple stages hosting songwriters presenting lots of opportunities to experience the Festival throughout these dates. We encourage you to review the website for the purpose of planning your time at the Festival and look forward to seeing you in November.

Many of our festival shows/performances are FREE. Some of the venues charge a modest cover charge and from time to time we may stage a show where tickets are sold. In a case where there are tickets, it will be portrayed as such on the Frank Brown Songwriters website WHEN the schedule is posted which is closer to the Festival dates. 

The Festival is held on multiple stages along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast .   Click the "Map Link" to find Festival venues and locations.

Due to the nature of the Festival, with 200+ Songwriters and multiple venues/locations; each year's schedule is published early October.
