With beautiful weather, the festival season is here in Richmond, VA.

Many people are looking forward to fun events after a tragic pandemic year, and the Folk Festival is a Richmond favorite. It’s taking place this coming weekend and it’s noteworthy that it is free admission (though they do ask for donations).

Although it is celebrating its 17th year, this Folk Festival will be a bit more national artist-based than past years, which is understandable given the difficulty traveling with pandemic concerns.

It does not look like they are checking vaccination records for attendees, but they are taking some COVID-19 precautions.
