Several days of outstanding brass band music are on tap and all around the town from June 4th to June 8th. The 28th Annual Gettysburg Brass Band Festival returns in 2025 with a variety of performances from Seminary Ridge into Lincoln Square and all the way down Steinwehr Ave.

The event continues Thursday June 5th with the Tuba Open Golf Benefit at Carroll Valley Golf Course (8am) and the Annual Al Fresco Jazz Brass Festival Benefit at the Main Stage at the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary (6:30pm.)
