Richmond does free unusually well. Between the river, First Fridays, community markets, brewery taprooms, and park programming, you can fill a weekend without opening your wallet — the list above is every upcoming event on the board with no cover and no ticket.
Free events move fast and post late, so this page changes daily. If a neighborhood is your starting point, browse by neighborhood instead — most have at least a few free things on any given week.
