Arts & Entertainment

The Richmond Region's cultural scene offers a year-round schedule of musical, theatrical, artistic and dance performances. Many professional arts groups, including the Richmond Ballet, Richmond Symphony and Virginia Opera, perform annually in the Region.

If you prefer theater, choose from Theater IV's family performances, the Richmond Shakespeare Festival's outdoor productions or the Broadway Under the Stars series. There's also lots of local theater such as the Firehouse Theatre Project and the Barksdale Theatre. Want to enjoy an outdoor concert? You'll find one in nearly every direction from May through September. We also have dozens of art galleries, a couple of comedy clubs and a few film festivals. The Region is fortunate to have the fresh talents of the area's college and university students, displayed through the many theater, art, music and dance performances scheduled each year.  Click here to view our cultural festival sampler.
