Richmond weekends run on a rhythm: farmers markets and river time in the morning, breweries and galleries in the afternoon, shows after dark. The list above pulls Friday through Sunday from across the city — ticketed shows and free hangs alike — in the order they're happening.
If the weekend looks thin, check back Thursday or Friday: venues post late, and the board updates daily. Pin anything that looks good and it'll be waiting on your pinned page — or drop it straight onto your calendar.
