Your RVA Events Guide: The Best Things Happening in Richmond This April
April in Richmond hits different. The dogwoods are blooming, the patios are packed, and the city is buzzing with energy that reminds you exactly why you love living here (or exactly why you should move here โ just saying ๐). Here's your roundup of the best things happening in RVA this month.
๐ญ Richmond Fringe Festival โ April 10โ13
If you've never been to Richmond Fringe, this is your year. Running April 10โ13, this boutique arts festival is unlike anything else in the city โ think curated, unexpected, and delightfully weird in the best way. Multi-venue performances, immersive experiences, and a level of creativity that'll make you proud to live in a city that supports stuff like this. Check out richmondfringe.com for the full lineup.
๐๏ธ The Bizarre Bazaar Spring Market โ April 10โ12
Three days of incredible local vendors, artisan goods, home dรฉcor, and things you didn't know you needed until you saw them. The Bizarre Bazaar Spring Market is a Richmond institution, and the spring edition never disappoints. Whether you're shopping for your home or just love supporting local makers, this one's worth a full afternoon. Perfect for the home-lover in all of us.
๐ก First Friday Art Trolley โ Ongoing Through May
Free. Interactive. Absolutely a vibe. The First Friday Art Trolley runs through April and May, taking you on a tour of Richmond's art scene with some seriously fun programming on board โ drag trivia, trolley cabaret, you name it. It's the kind of only-in-RVA experience that makes this city so special.
โพ Richmond Baseball at CarMax Park
Big news, RVA sports fans โ the brand new CarMax Park opened its doors this month and Richmond's home team is officially playing ball. There is nothing quite like a spring evening at a baseball game, and doing it in a shiny new stadium? Even better. Grab your tickets, grab some ballpark snacks, and soak it all in.
๐ธ Live Music at The National
If your April needs more live music (and honestly, whose doesn't?), The National has a packed calendar all month long โ shows on the 14th, 16th, 18th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 26th. Richmond's music scene is genuinely one of its best kept secrets, and The National is a big reason why. Check thenationalva.com for the full schedule.
๐ธ Just Get Outside
Beyond the events, April in Richmond is simply gorgeous. Maymont is in full bloom, the James River trails are calling, and even a walk through the Fan or Church Hill right now feels like a treat. Richmond's neighborhoods are part of what makes this city so livable โ and spring is when they really show off.
Living the RVA Life
One of the things I love most about Richmond is that there's always something going on โ no matter your vibe, your budget, or your age. It's a city that keeps getting better, and that energy shows up in the neighborhoods, the homes, and the community.
If you're new to the area (or thinking about making the move), this is just a taste of what everyday life looks like here. Curious about what it would be like to own a home in the middle of all this? Let's talk.
