Finally, Friday Cheers is back: Richmond’s longest running outdoor summer concert series announced its 36th season today, which will celebrate all things local.
And by that they mean local bands, beer and food.
Presented by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and held along the scenic riverfront at Brown’s Island, the event will be socially distanced featuring “physically spaced two, four and eight-person pods.” Also heads up: Tickets must be purchased in advance, there will be none offered on site. Visit the Venture Richmond website for more information.
“We are thrilled to present these shows in a safe and responsible way,” said Stephen Lecky, director of events for Venture Richmond, in a press release today. “Invite your friends and family out to enjoy the warm weather in one of Richmond’s most beautiful outdoor event venues.”
Without further adieu, your summer ’21 lineup is below. All the shows start at 6:30 p.m. and the headliner is at 8 p.m. unless otherwise noted (some have only one performer).
