The 17th Street Farmers Market kicked off its annual event season last weekend with the Richmond Earth Day Festival. Local organization Enrichmond has taken over management of this year’s season, which features nine additional events that are expected to bring over 150,000 people to Shockoe.

Each event will benefit Enrichmond, a non-profit focused on over 100 community-based special projects that serve the city’s parks, people, and public spaces.

All 17th Street Farmers Market events are FREE unless otherwise noted. Food, beverages, and selected activities will be available for purchase at events.
