RVA’s Summer Field Guide Hits The Streets Today

by | Jun 6, 2019 | COMMUNITY

With Memorial Day Weekend in the books, summer in Richmond is officially here!

To celebrate the liveliest season in the River City, RVA Magazine is proud to release the RVA Summer Field Guide: Our take on a solid season to get outdoors and enjoy the city’s best, out and on the streets today.

Beat the heat and humidity, and grab a first-edition copy of your new summer go-to guide. With a classic outdoor field guide feel, the RVA Summer Field Guide brings all the sunny-day feels and boozy ideas to make the most of your days.

The guide is packed with upcoming music events, summer festivals, guides to Richmond nightlife, summer beers to look for, the best watering holes in the state, plenty of planned trips for students and families alike, and many more. Oh, yeah — and we also have quite possibly the best scavenger hunt in existence.

While it’s impossible to include everything and everywhere that make summer fun so great in this state, what comes with the RVA Summer Field Guide is a quinnessential start to exploring the city we all call home. Pick up a free copy today at any of our amazing vendors and local hot spots in town, and be sure to grab one before they run out — we guarantee you’ll be glad you did!

You can check out a PDF of the guide online below. Check our Instagram and Twitter for a special release at Hardywood tonight, or check any of the spots listed below to get a copy of your own.
