LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) — The Lewisburg Winter Music Festival (LWMF), a signature winter event produced by the Southern Appalachia Musicians’ Association (SAMA), returns for its highly-anticipated two-day celebration of live music on January 30–31, 2026, across downtown Lewisburg.

“Musicians Helping Musicians”
Organized by SAMA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to assisting musicians facing crisis and fostering music education, the festival is more than entertainment; it’s a mission-driven gathering rooted in community and support. All performing artists donate their time and talent so ticket revenue can be directed toward SAMA’s outreach, grants, and educational programs. SAMA is an all-volunteer, musician-led nonprofit focused on providing crisis support and educational funding to musicians throughout Southern Appalachia.
