Inspired by classic fishing camps and beach-town fish shacks, Fish Camp is a fast-casual concept from the team behind Slack Tide Fish Co. We offer breakfast tacos and coffee in the morning and transition to comfort favorites like clam chowder, crab cake sandwiches, and fried fish platters for lunch and dinner – all served out of our takeout window at Ballast in Scott’s Addition. Order online or at the window, and enjoy your meal under our pergola, on Yellow Umbrella’s patio, or in Cirrus Vodka’s tasting room. Hooked yet? We’ll see you at the catch counter.

We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.

Creatures of the night descend upon Richmond for a bloody good time as the annual Richmond Vampire Ball returns on the most fitting night imaginable — Friday the 13th!  
  
On November 13th, don your fangs, gather your coven, and enter the historic Hofheimer Building for an immersive night of dark music, dancing, performances, themed drinks, vendors, photo opportunities, and vampiric revelry.  
  
Hosted by After Dark RVA, the Vampire Ball transforms 2nd Floor of the historic Hofheimer Building in Scott’s Addition into a gathering place for vampires, goths, creatures of the night, and anyone drawn to the darker side of Richmond.  
  
Throughout the night, expect live performances by Dollz Entertainment, roaming photographers, vampiric themed drink specials, vendors, and plenty of places to capture your undead transformation. Those wanting to add a little more blood can visit DC Creators Body Art Collective booth for vampiric makeup, including fresh vampire bites, slit throats and other gruesome enhancements.  
  
Two creatures of the night will be crowned the evening’s Vampire King & Queen during the Best Dressed Contest — and at midnight, the dance floor takes center stage for the Midnight Vamp Dance-Off.
