Virginia Beach legend Pusha T will headline Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s Made in Virginia Market on Friday, January 16, as part of inaugural weekend events in Richmond.
The Spanberger Inaugural Committee announced Tuesday that Pusha T will take the stage from 7:35 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the 17th Street Market, closing out an evening centered on Virginia-made goods, food, and local music. The market runs from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will feature more than 40 artisans, small businesses, and food vendors from across the Commonwealth.
In addition to the headlining set, the Made in Virginia Market will showcase performances by several regional artists, including TeezySoDope and SynHERgi from Hampton Roads, along with Richmond-based acts Høly River and ELONCE. The lineup reflects the broader focus of the event, which highlights homegrown talent across multiple creative scenes.
The market takes place at 17th Street Market, located at 100 N. 17th Street in downtown Richmond. Attendees can view the full vendor list and sign up for updates at spanbergerinauguration.com/market.
The Made in Virginia Market is part of the broader inaugural theme, “United for Virginia’s Future,” which organizers say is intended to emphasize shared priorities, civic pride, and Governor-elect Spanberger’s stated commitment to pragmatic leadership that represents Virginians statewide.
