Maymont's Garden Glow 2023, photos by Mike Avey

A Nightcrawler’s Tale in Maymont’s Garden Glow

by | Nov 2, 2023 | ART, COMMUNITY, EVENTS, NIGHTLIFE, OUTDOORS, PHOTOGRAPHY, STREETWEAR & SNEAKERS

In the heart of Maymont, the 6th annual Garden Glow is painting the night, running up to November 12th. Thanks to Kroger’s collaboration, Maymont annually transforms its iconic Italian and Japanese gardens into a luminescent dreamscape. Miss this, and you’ll wait another year to wander through such kaleidoscopic wonder. As autumn nights draw in, let this be the ethereal experience that reignites your spirit.

Capturing this vibe through his lens, photographer Mike Avey teamed up with local dance sensations, X-Glide and D E C O R, bringing a fusion of movement and light to the scene.

Snag your tickets right here —though, heads up, they’re keeping the magic under wraps on November 6th and 7th (Monday and Tuesday). Be there for a dazzling escape from the ordinary.

Photos | Warriors in Bloom at Agecroft Hall

For one weekend, Agecroft Hall stopped being a museum and became a kingdom.  What began as a fundraiser to help launch Richmond's first Renaissance Faire has grown into a destination of its own. Warriors in Bloom, created by the folks at Virago Alley, returned with...

Everything We Did Was A Bad Idea

Editor's Note: Writer's Block is a space for Virginia writers to share personal essays, fiction, memoir, and works that fall somewhere in between. We’re standing on some corner in downtown Richmond: me, my two friends, a pair of women, and their male friend we had met...

Review | SAFETY! Swings Big But Falls Just Short
