Midlothian Food Festival

Build it. Paint it. Grow it. Plant it. Plumb it. Decorate it. Replace it. Revitalize it. Looking for a way to give your home a spruce-up? From exterior rejuvenation to indoor décor to brand new home technology, the Richmond Home Show can help. Friday, Oct. 11 through Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Richmond Raceway Complex.

A whole weekend of wildly amazing live music? Count me in, Richmond Folk Festival. Friday, Oct. 11 through Sunday, Oct. 13 on Brown’s Island.

The Magnificent Midlothian Food Festival can’t wait to show off all of the tastes, bites, samples, and sips that Midlo has to offer. Don’t forget your ticket … and your appetite. Saturday, Oct. 12 from noon-7 p.m. at Westchester Commons.

Finally, Richmond is getting women involved in its world of monuments. Check out the Virginia Women’s Monument Dedication Ceremony to welcome these bronze bombshells to our city. Monday, Oct. 14 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
