🎶 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.
