Thanks to everyone who showed out on a lovely, warm August evening at The Branch Museum of Design for Style Weekly’s annual Best Fest, a celebration of everyone involved in this year’s Best of Richmond issue. Everyone from winners and guests to the writers, editor and photographers involved in the big issue showed up to celebrate.

Attendees not only checked out the “Ruined’ and “Refined” exhibit of custom motorcycles and scooters, but they enjoyed many samples of great local food and drink from some of the issue’s winners, as well as the music of Afro-Zen Allstars and Deau Eyes in addition to drag performances by Michelle Livigne and Qing Blaze. Congrats again to all the winners and thanks to those who bought a ticket and supported Style Weekly. All photos were taken by Style Weekly photographer Scott Elmquist.
