But first, imagine what used to be on the Festival site- the Gamble’s Hill park and neighborhood and part of Oregon Hill neighborhood, the State Penitentiary, the functioning Tredegar Iron Works and working Kanawha Canal.

Hopefully the Richmond Folk Festival has proven somewhat sustainable (I know I volunteered and dropped my donation in the bucket!) and we will enjoy for years to come. But keep in mind there could be other new developments on the site, like the new Meade WestVAco headquarters. Personally, I keep hoping that the Richmond Transportation Museum idea can be dusted off…

Anyway, on with the photos from a great weekend…
