Richmond Folk Festival

October 9th-11th; Richmond, Virginia

Richmond comes alive to embrace regional and international folk music over the weekend of October 9th. Come for the bluegrass, but stay for the traditional Persian Gulf song and dance. You’ll be in hog heaven after sampling treats from far away places like the Mediterranean sea, Asia, and Mexico. But don’t worry- there will be plenty of traditional fair foods if your palette isn’t as adventurous as your listening ear!
