The Richmond Folk Festival is returning to Downtown Richmond’s riverfront. Over the past twenty-two years, the festival has become one of Virginia’s largest and most cherished events. It draws fans to Brown’s Island and Downtown Richmond’s riverfront each year to celebrate the roots, richness, and variety of American culture through music, dance, traditional crafts, storytelling, and food. With six stages and over 30 performing groups from across the nation and the world, the festival is a vibrant tapestry of cultures and traditions. It welcomes 200,000 people over a three-day weekend, showing the power of diversity and inclusivity.
