This September 6th and 7th, bands from around the country and region will descend on Greater Richmond. They’ll join art galleries and restaurants in celebrating just what makes RVA great in the city’s first Fall Line Fest. FLF is an all-volunteer effort (full disclosure: I’m one of the volunteers and my company, RVANews, is one of the partners) that’s meant to showcase the best Richmond has to offer.

And the three core components of the fest—music, art, and food—are each a smoking hot part of Richmond’s current creative explosion. From murals, to mussels, to Matthew E. White, Richmond is absolutely shaking with the amount of amazingness currently on deck—and the Fall Line Fest is set to vibrate right at RVA’s resonant frequencies.

It’s not just about the incredible bands the Fest is bringing to town (Big Freedia, Cold Cave, Neon Indian, No BS!, and Josh Small to name a few). It’s not just about the nationally-recognized restaurants (Ipanema, The Well, Saison, Rappahannock, and Pasture) that will feature musician-inspired menus and live music. It’s not just about an entire neighborhood of galleries spilling their art out on to the very streets. It’s about all of these things working together to make one weekend the weekend that reflects the spirit of Richmond.

And, most likely, you’re part of that spirit, too! So come on out, and be a part of things—tickets are only $20. Or better yet, if you’ve got a project you’ve been dying to execute, do it that weekend. Call up your buds, and see what kind of crazy collaborations you can dream up in the next couple of weeks.
