Richmond Folk Festival

For the 22nd year, music, culture and community brought us together for three unforgettable days at the Richmond Folk Festival.

To everyone who joined us, danced along (maybe even in the rain!), discovered a new favorite artist or simply came out to enjoy the festivities, thank you for making this weekend so special!

A huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers, staff, crew, performers and community partners who help bring this festival to life year after year.

And of course, thank you to our generous sponsors, whose support makes it possible to keep the Richmond Folk Festival FREE and accessible to all!

📆 SAVE THE DATES: Friday-Sunday, October 8-10, 2027

It's the tradition! As the final set comes to a close at 6 PM, lend us a hand to help wrap up the weekend smoothly.

Spot a white folding chair under a tent? Just fold it on your way out! Every little bit helps our hardworking Folk Fest team.

Thanks for being part of the magic, and safe travels home!

☀️🌧️ Rain or shine, the music plays on!

A little rain won't stop us from celebrating the music, culture and community that make the festival so special!

We're a rain or shine festival, so grab your rain jacket, bring your dancing shoes and get ready for another incredible day of FREE live music on Richmond's riverfront!

We'll be keeping an eye on the weather and will share any important updates right here.

See you at the festival! 🎉
