🎅🛥️Parade night is finally here for dozens

🎅🛥️Parade night is finally here for dozens of festive boats dressed in the season’s finest! Richmond Boat Parade of Lights, a favorite holiday tradition for the River City, will see dozens of vessels twinkling their way from Rockettes Landing to Osbourne Landing TONIGHT!

While all the boats are a sight to be seen, we’re keeping our eye out for the littlest boat in the Richmond Boat Parade, the “Kid’s Wish,” a hometown favorite from the Forest Hill neighborhood.

The water pageant is viewable from the restaurant @lillypadcafe or the private riverfront viewing area with the purchase of a ticket at the door ($10 admission goes toward parade prizes and staffing). There is FREE viewing from Osborne boat landing next door.

➡️Follow @richmondboatparadeoflights for details.

🗓️ Dec 9, 5pm - 8 pm

📚There’s nothing better than a good reading room, if you ask us. This hidden gem, located upstairs at the Branch Museum of Architecture and Design (@branchmuseum) is open for reading, work, and studying during the week!

The Branch also offers thought-provoking exhibitions and events with the goal of sparking creativity, joy, and appreciation for design excellence. Through forward-thinking programs, The Branch works to empower people to recognize and advance successful design solutions to better lives.

Currently on exhibit you’ll find Women’s Rights Are Human Rights as well as Carlton Abbott Illustrations. Programs happening at The Branch include Yoga with Erin Lingo (@erinlingosomatics) every Tuesday, Coffee+Conversations (featuring @sallieplumleystudio on Dec 16), webinars, mini concerts, and some of the best garden and rooftop parties around.

Support helps make The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design’s educational and exhibition programs possible. Membership in The Branch Museum directly supports stewardship, programming, exhibitions, and operations.

✨Holiday Weekend, Church Hill Association’s (@

✨Holiday Weekend, Church Hill Association’s (@chaofrva) biggest and most festive fundraiser, is just around the corner! The annual series of events enables CHA to provide grants that support neighborhood schools, parks, trees, historic preservation efforts, and community outreach events year-round.

🕯️A magical kickoff to the CHA Holiday Weekend will begin on Friday, December 8 with the Candlelight Walk, led by The Greater Richmond Pipes & Drums. The candlelight walk will start at Jefferson Park at 7:15 pm. The walk will make a stop @stjohnschurchfoundation to pick up those who attend the 7:00pm Vespers service, then proceed to Libby Hill Park through Church Hill’s historic gas-lit streets. There will be caroling, live music, and incredible food, beverage, and floral vendors:

@fieldfloral
@honeybakedbeerva
@tbtelgallo
@goldlionrva
@sweettemptationsbyteresa

➡️ Remember to bring your own candle (or pick one up along the way). As always, this event is free, open to all, and takes place regardless of weather.

🏡 On December 10th, from 12pm – 5pm, the festivities continue with the 57th Holiday House Tour. Head to the hill to explore the interiors of historic neighborhood homes and buildings. Tickets sales support the association’s community grant programs.
