Even man's best friend got in on the festival action with Woofstock. A celebration of the pooch held at Festival Park (downtown next to the Coliseum) benefiting the Richmond Animal League.
We weren't able to enjoy all the events around town but those we did enjoy were well done, lots of fun and showcased the best of Richmond.
The weather was perfect for an evening strolling art at First Fridays Art Walk and getting lost in the sounds of Shovels and Rope and Hayes Carll down on Brown's Island for Friday Cheers.
Saturday, was an early morning start with the Times-Dispatch Go! Discover Richmond 10K walk, which started and ended at the Virginia War Memorial. This was an incredible event that showed off this town in grand style. Everyone should Go! Discover Richmond! We know the neighborhoods and we know the landmarks because we pass them all the time, but how often do we take the time to really explore all the beauty and history that makes Richmond remarkable and unique? If you have ever uttered the phrase “I’ve lived here for years/my whole life and have never been to fill in the blank” change that now! Challenge yourself to discover RVA by visiting not just passing a park, a landmark, a museum, a neighborhood...we have it all so take your pick, discover, and enjoy.
After the walk it was time for shopping at not 1 but 2 Farmers Markets! South of the James farmers market in Forest Hill Park then a mini market at the Urban Farmhouse Market & Café, Midlothian. Then it was time for the fastest 2 minutes in sports. Fabulous hat, check. Fancy bourbon drink, check. Friendly winning wager placed on Orb, check. Derby day is so much fun!
Sunday Funday was fairly low key spent enjoying a Cinco de Mayo margarita.
And that folks is just another weekend in RVA!
Stay tuned this month as we heart our moms and get a little crazy over the food truck court phenomenon and more farmers markets fun!
Cheers,
K&H
