Shockoe Fest schedule

You can take the Shamrock out of Shockoe but you can’t take the Irish.

The festival that won’t be named might have moved to a new location but that doesn’t mean nothing is going in Shockoe. Quite to the contrary not only is it the debut of a brand new festival but every bar I know of is running specials and many have live music.

I’m not saying you’re going to drink too much but if your buddy partakes of a Guinness too many throw him or her in a cab.

Shockoe Fest is Saturday, March 15,  11:00 AM to 4:00 PM

The 17^th Street Farmers’ Market is the main location with activities and food along 17^th Street from Main Street to Grace Street and along the full stretch of Franklin Street, from Ambler Street to 18^th  Street.
