RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Venture Richmond and many local businesses are gearing up for the 33rd annual 2nd Street Festival.

The festival runs from October 2-3 and celebrates the culture and history of the Jackson Ward neighborhood. The neighborhood was once known as the “Harlem of the South” and 2nd Street was seen as a hub for the community.

The neighborhood and 2nd Street are still home to local restaurants, businesses, and art studios.

The festival brings even more food vendors, shopping opportunities and artists to 2nd Street. The Richmond Metropolitan Antique Car Club will also be present at the event.

Musical performances will vary from jazz, reggae, gospel and more. Saturday’s headliner Plunky & Oneness mixes a variety of styles including Afro-centric jazz, funk, R&B, house music and go-go.

For anyone interested in history, there will be free hour-long walking tours.

“We are so excited to be back in the Jackson Ward area,” said Sharon Bassard, Reservations and Festival Manager at Venture Richmond. “This year’s lineup features favorite Richmond and emerging artists. From jazz to reggae and gospel to R&B, you can find a weekend stage with your favorite music – all for free!

Festival-goers are encouraged to get vaccinated, wear a mask and practice social distancing.
