Festivals and special events in Richmond VA

Special events in Richmond, VA take place throughout the calendar year. But make no mistake about it, if you want to do Richmond like a local, you wait for the festivals that brighten up practically every weekend from early spring through late fall. Whether that's an outdoor sports and music festival called Dominion Riverrock, live music at the Richmond Jazz Festival, beer tasting at the National Beer Expo, or another one of Richmond's annual events. Our long summers and temperate falls and springs make RVA an ideal place to take in food, family fun and festivals outside!
