September festivals in Richmond, Virginia continue to take advantage of the warm, mild weather. Congregating in a festive way give us a chance to get to know another culture, eat delicious food, hear live music and see our fellow Richmond residents in all their diversity. Many take place at urban intersections, parks, rivers, farms, church yards, hunt clubs and breweries to take in the sights and enjoy the balmy, and sometimes steamy, weather.
Keep checking back as we update dates and locations of September festivals. And be sure to subscribe to email updates, follow @rvacheap on Twitter or like RVA (Richmond) on the Cheap on Facebook to stay in the know about the latest freebies & deals.
