Our festival is a multi-cultural experience like no other,” Sims said. “We’re so proud to bring performers that most Richmonders may never have seen, or even heard of before. We know they will leave a lasting impression on our community long after the festival and (we) can’t wait for October.”
The festival is produced by Venture Richmond, a non-profit organization that seeks to engage business and community leaders in partnering with the city to enhance the vitality of the community, particularly Downtown. The group partners with the National Council for the Traditional Arts to bring the event to Virginia’s capital.
