Final Days of Summer: Things to Do Around Richmond

August 7th, 2023 by Napier ERA

Richmond Summer

August may be the last full month of summer, but Richmond is not ready to slow down yet. There are still plenty of community events going on this month. Whether you're in the mood for live music, great food, local art, or a little bit of everything, there are lots of opportunities for summer fun. Here are some top events our real estate agents recommend attending.

Richmond Night Market: 100 N. 17th St., Richmond, VA 23219
Richmond Night Market takes place on the second Saturday of every month. The next upcoming date is August 12th, 2023. This open-air market will last from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm. There is no cost for admission.

At Richmond Night Market, you can shop for produce, handmade crafts, soap, jewelry, and more. There will also be live music to enjoy and a few stations where you can participate in group art projects.
Barton Heights Northside Walking Tour: 1015 E. Clay St., Richmond, VA 23219

The Colors of Music Summer Concert is a free concert presented by Agecroft Hall & Gardens. It is scheduled for Sunday, August 20th, beginning at 6:00 pm. Bring your blanket or chair to sit on, and look forward to an evening of beautiful music.

The open-air market truly has something for everyone. There are booths selling artwork, jewelry, specialty foods, and home decor. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, too.
Petersburg Public Library: 201 W. Washington St., Petersburg, VA 23803
Summer reading is even more fun when your local library hosts events! Listen to jazz musicians at the Petersburg Public Library when you attend Jazz in the Stacks, taking place August 11th, 2023, from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
