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.

Join us for Circle & Sip, guided conversation designed to bridge backgrounds and spark genuine connection, followed by a boodle fight, a Filipino tradition of eating a shared feast of rice, grilled meats and seafood by hand, laid out together on banana leaves, alongside cultural storytelling.  
  
Come curious. Leave nourished, connected, and with a deeper appreciation for Filipino culture and community.
