After slamming the Richmond area with a lot of rain and wind yesterday, what’s left of Hurricane Michael has moved off the coast. City of Richmond schools will open with a two hour delay, but the rest of the weekend weather should be dry and cool.

This is a relief to many, but especially the Richmond Folk Festival, which takes place just down the hill, and kicks off at 6 pm this evening.

Because of the massive crowds expected, visitors are encouraged to use shuttles and other options instead of parking in Oregon Hill. But hopefully, everyone can enjoy this great festival.
