Another year has passed, and Best Friends Day 8, “The Ocho”, is gearing up for the weekend of August 20-23. This year we have a South of the Boredom theme, a scavenger hunt that is the closest thing to Double Dare you will ever do, and a world record bike jump over 40 square feet of nachos. The weekend has been extended back to four days like it was in previous years, starting Thursday night with a show at Plaza Bowl and ending on Sunday at the Bike Lot with a 3-day scavenger hunt finale. Oh, and more bands! Though the whole weekend is without compare, the highlight will be a full day at Hadad’s Lake, complete with bands, water sports, volleyball, horseshoes, paddle boats, mini golf and BBQ!

In the tradition of true independent media and music, we have teamed up with RVA Magazine, our city’s best independent free cultural magazine, to create this ultimate guidebook to Best Friends Day. Check out this upgraded BFD Guide for a run down of bands, interviews with some of the best people in Richmond, mind teasers, nostalgia, and personal reflections. And don’t forget to take some time out to get autographs from your favorite best friends!
Cheers Amigos!
