2nd Street Art Festival (Day 1)
Event Details
RICHMOND, VA – The 2nd Street Festival returns this fall, Saturday-Sunday, October 7-8, marking its 35 th anniversary! The FREE annual festival celebrates the rich culture of Downtown Richmond’s historic Jackson Ward neighborhood and is produced by Venture Richmond Events. Over the years, it has become one of the Mid-Atlantic’s largest street festivals. Thousands visit historic Jackson Ward each year to reminisce about the days when 2nd Street was the heart and soul of Richmond’s African-American community and was known as “the Harlem of the South.” Today, Jackson Ward continues to be a thriving neighborhood and community. The 2nd Street Festival is an annual celebration over two days that features three stages of live musical entertainment along with a Kidz Zone, popular food vendors, a marketplace and Artists Row to shop, and the Richmond Metropolitan Antique Car Club.
