🎶 RVA Music Fest 2025: A Celebration of Music, Family, and Community Spirit
Get ready to move, groove, and give back, Richmond! 💛
The RVA Music Fest 2025 is taking over Dogwood Dell Amphitheater on Saturday, October 11, from 12 PM – 8 PM — and it’s completely FREE!
This year’s festival brings together the best independent artists, local entrepreneurs, and families across RVA for a full day of live music, laughter, and purpose.
🎤 The Heart Behind the Music
RVA Music Fest isn’t just another concert — it’s a community movement.
Dedicated to the memory of Xavier Brown, whose life was tragically lost to violence, this event stands as a reminder that music can heal, unite, and inspire change.
Every artist performing is doing clean versions of their songs, creating a positive, family-friendly atmosphere that uplifts everyone — from toddlers to grandparents.
And here’s the best part: instead of an admission fee, organizers ask attendees to bring school supplies to donate to Richmond Public Schools.
🎒 Music + community + giving back = RVA at its finest.
💡 Pitch RVA: Where Big Ideas Take the Stage
The festival kicks off at noon with Pitch RVA, a business pitch competition that gives local entrepreneurs a shot at a $500 grant to grow their dreams.
Local visionaries will take the stage, share their projects, and compete for the top spot — with the winner announced right there at the festival!
It’s a perfect mix of community support and hometown innovation.
🕛 Pitch RVA: 12 PM – 2 PM
🎤 Live Performances: 2 PM – 8 PM
