The 2017 Romanza is pleased to welcome the Gamble Rogers Music Festival as part of the annual Romanza Festivale of the Arts; a celebration of art and music in America's most romantic city, featuring 100 events and exhibits by dozens of organizations from May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) through May 14, 2017.

The Gamble Rogers Music Festival is one of St. Augustine's heritage music events, celebrating 22 years of festival performances in the Ancient City.  The Gamble Rogers Music Festival takes place May 5 - 7 in the Colonial Quarter, 33 St. George St., downtown St. Augustine. 

The event honors the late James Gamble Rogers IV, a singer, songwriter, and storyteller who balanced a love of balladry and folk songs with a passion for the oral tradition and storytelling. Headliners include national and regional acoustic legends and favorites. See the music schedule and ticket information HERE!

"GambleFest adds a new depth and dimension to the opening weekend of St. Augustine's Romanza Festivale of the Arts," said Albert Syeles, co-founder and President of Romanza St. Augustine.
