Weekend Radar: Old Crow Medicine Show, Armenian Food Festival, Art of El Salvador, RVA Brunch Weekend, Afro Fest

Old Crow Medicine Show at Maymont
September 9th

If you go expecting crows or medicines you’re going to be disappointed. If you go to see a talented band in an awesome setting you’re going to be happy.

@crowmedicine – what can we say! We can’t wait to celebrate your new incredible album #PaintThisTown at @musicatmaymont this summer! See you September 9th!
CMA award winner and Guit-Steel legend @juniorbrown will be opening the show!

Richmond Brunch Weekend at Various Area Restaurants
September 10-11th

I’m not a brunch person. I like meals to stay firmly in their lanes. Don’t cross the meal streams. I also know I’m alone in this and supporting Richmond SPCA is a darn good reason to at least pretend to be a brunch person.

We are THRILLED to announce the return of our favorite event, #RVAbrunchweekend!
Join us September 10-11 for our fifth annual RVA Brunch Weekend as we come together as a community to support our local restaurants and this year’s charity partner, the Richmond SPCA!
To participate, all you have to do is enjoy brunch at one (or more) of our participating restaurants on September 10-11. Our gracious restaurant partners will then share a portion of proceeds with the Richmond SPCA. Restaurants are still feeling the impact from the pandemic, so please be nice, tip well, smile and leave an additional donation of any size for the Richmond SPCA!
We are excited to have some great RVA restaurants on-board including:
Home Team Grill
Pinky’s
Bari at Brambly Park
Industrial Taphouse
River City Roll
Blue Atlas
The Savory Grain
Postbellum
Fall Line Kitchen & Bar

The Shaved Duck Restaurant
