How much does it cost? There is a $2 donation that is requested at the gate. This helps offset the costs of this fantastic event.

Why are you moving the event to Richmond Raceway Complex? We are very grateful to the Church Hill residents for their support over the last 4 years and just feel as though the festival has become too large for the area. With this move, we can offer a much better layout, lots of free parking and an overall better experience.

What about weather? The event is rain or shine, so please plan accordingly. Umbrellas are accepted.

Can I bring my kids? Absolutely! The Richmond Italian Street Festival is a family friendly event with a large kid, cultural and family area for all members of the family to enjoy. There are places to sit and relax as well as dance to the music.

What about pets? Please leave man's best friend at home. It can get very busy and we don't want to have your pet get injured.

What entrance do I use? Use Gate 4 off of Laburnum Ave and park in Lot D. This will put you directly in front of the entrance for the festival. Get directions here.

Is there alcohol at this event? There will be Italian wines, beer and limoncello available for purchase. Every person wishing to consume alcohol will need to show proper ID and wear a wristband.

What about live music? Oh yes! Live music will fill the air all weekend long. From authentic strolling musicians to fun rock and roll on the stage, you'll have something for everyone. Get the entertainment listing here.

Is there other food besides Italian Food? What? Curse your tongue! Yes, there are some other options.

What else is there to do at the Richmond Italian Street Festival? In addition to music, family fun, a bingo, cultural and history displays, Italian food and wine, great people watching and 25,000 of your neighbors...we can't think of anything better!
