October 10-12, is the Richmond Folk Festival.
From the website blurb:
The Richmond Folk Festival is one of Virginia’s largest events, drawing visitors from all over the country to downtown Richmond’s historic riverfront. The Festival is a FREE three-day event that got its start as the National Council for the Traditional Arts’ National Folk Festival, held in Richmond from 2005-2007. The Richmond Folk Festival features performing groups representing a diverse array of cultural traditions on six stages.
But also, Richmond Zine Fest, a two-day event.
From website…
On day one, Friday October 10th from 12 PM – 5 PM (note: this is has been changed since the printing of the poster) is ONLY programming aka workshops, presentations, dialogues, and opportunities to learn something new. The programs are held in the basement of the library.
Day two is Saturday, October 11th from 10 AM – 4:30 PM, and this is the big vendor day that is recognizably “zine fest” to the average attendee. We take over multiple spaces on the first floor and the basement levels of the library with exhibitors that have produced zines for purchase and/or trade. Please see our section on zine fest etiquette for tips about how to engage with tablers and what is inappropriate.
Masks are required for all participants in Richmond Zine Fest.

From event description:
The Department of Historic Resources’ Underwater Archaeology Program is leading presentations about the history of the James River and its impacts on the City of Richmond. We hope you’ll join us for these talks, and then go on guided walks and river cleanups.
The second public lecture in this series will take place on Wednesday, May 3, 6 pm at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. The presentation will focus on the cultural history of Richmond as a port and center around Richmond’s maritime landscape below the Fall Line, highlighting the events and places that have influenced the founding and growth of the city.
Attendees at this lecture will be given details and a chance to sign up for a guided walking tour and cleanup, scheduled for Saturday, May 6, at Ancarrow’s Landing in Richmond’s Manchester neighborhood.
DHR is hosting this event in partnership with the City of Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities’ James River Park System and the Current Culture Fly Shop. The event is part of a series that satisfies the outreach component of a larger DHR program supported by grants from the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund. The program seeks to collect additional data on the maritime history of the James River. The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund is financed through a portion of the proceeds from the annual subscription fees of the “Friends of the Chesapeake Bay” license plates.

I am thrilled to announce that as of today, I have answered the call to be the interim rector at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Richmond. While I will miss the residents and team members at Hermitage Richmond, I am delighted to be a part of St. Andrew’s during this time of transition and change.

It’s raining now but the weather will turn to snow later with colder temperatures. And a good chance of more snow this weekend.
