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.
