Porch Night, the community gathering once known as Porch Night, the community gathering once known as Tiny Porch, returned to the ever-bustling Woodland Heights neighborhood last night. The summer rain held off just long enough for unforgettable performances by @weekendplansmusic, @hotpantshq, @peflmusic, @brandywinecutband, @woodywoodworth, and Jack Jones, spread across three neighborhood porches.

Neighbors filled the sidewalks, streets and front yards, with @timberpizzaco_rva and @snoyummyllc serving up food and treats and @rvalibrary joining the mix. A summer evening well spent.
A 93-year-old service station has found a new voic A 93-year-old service station has found a new voice on Mayo Island thanks to @wallflower.rva. Built in 1933, the little brick building at 510 S. 14th Street sits on the final privately held parcel acquired for Richmond’s future Mayo Island Park. The building will remain as the city transforms the island into a natural-area park along the James. 

Over five weeks this summer, six Richmond teens worked with @wallflower.rva through the city’s Teens of Richmond in Parks (TRIP) program to turn the building into a collaborative mural. Together, they helped develop the composition and color palette, selected native species found throughout the park system, and brought the mural to life with guidance from Wallflower and local artists (@ian.c.hess, @elimcmullen, @visiblyhidden_, @stachesquatchdesign, and more) who joined them along the way. Fish, birds, native plants and the river now wrap the old service station.

The Wallflower Project is built around a simple but powerful idea that collaborative public art can help communities tell their stories. And on Mayo Island, this old building now tells a new one.
Nothing says summer in Richmond quite like arm wre Nothing says summer in Richmond quite like arm wrestling at an old picnic table in Forest Hill Park. That’s right, Butch Fest is returning to Forest Hill Park on August 22, bringing together Richmond’s butch/femme community for an afternoon of connection, games, food, and a little friendly competition.

Hosted by @butchfemmerva, this free community gathering runs from 5–7:30 p.m. at Shelter 1, with arm wrestling beginning at 7 p.m. Come compete or just pull up a seat and cheer on the participants. 

📍 Forest Hill Park, Shelter 1 on Sat, August 22 from 5–7:30 p.m.

The longtime DIY backyard skatepark turned itself into an open mud pit as spectators gathered around to watch the fun. DJ FloorManager provided the poolside soundtrack while @softtimeslounge served up chili dogs and mocktails. 

📸 @wawawomp captured all the action.
