The 2011 Board of Directors were voted to the board in January 2011. The board brings the best of both worlds. There are members who have many years of experience within the community of Richmond who keep the history of the festival alive, and some new faces who are anxious to add their time and talents to continue the tradition.
Many of the festival's events return year after year. Please view our list of Classic Events which briefly describes those events along with contact information and applications when necessary.
Please use the Points of Interest map to point you in the right direction.
