Hammers & Ales is a celebration of Richmond’s parks, public places, and the people that make them thrive. Rally your team on the beautiful riverfront green of Brown’s Island to help build new park benches, picnic tables, and trash huts for our amazing James River Park System.
Nearly all of us have experienced a renewed appreciation and need for the trails, parks, and green spaces that helped us stay connected & active through the pandemic, and Hammers & Ales is kind of a big public party celebrating that; it’s an opportunity to pull us all back together again with an opportunity to give back to the James River Park System by building new picnic tables & park benches whole enjoying a full day of live music, games & activities, and local food & drink.
