Friday Cheers a weekly music series put together by Venture Richmond and hosted on Brown’s Island, is coming back this summer with a mess of unique acts that are sure to give you a good reason to head down town.

In its 32nd season, Friday Cheers continues to be one of the best part of RVA during the warmer months. Nothing’s better than a craft beer and some tunes on a warm June evening, and this is the perfect place to find both.

There are three entry points to Brown’s Island, and payment will be taken at each. Cash, Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Debit and credit cards are only taken at two entry points: the pedestrian bridge at 5th and 7th streets. No pets are allowed.
