2026 Richmond Folk Feast presented by Capital One

We’re happy to bring this popular event back for 2026, on Monday, October 5 at 6:00 p.m. on Brown’s Island at the Dominion Energy Dance tent.

The Richmond Folk Feast started 13 years ago, when the chefs of Richmond, VA wanted to help support the Richmond Folk Festival. On the Monday before the festival, the brightest stars of Richmond's restaurant community will gather on Brown’s Island to raise funds by presenting signature dishes and showcasing our city's rich and diverse dining scene. This is an exclusive chance to experience the best eats our city has to offer, meet the chefs shaping our culinary landscape and support Virginia's largest, most culturally dynamic festival, all under one tent.

Tickets are $150 each, and benefit the Richmond Folk Festival.

At the Feast enjoy:

Wine and Beer as well as Corey Wells & Friends performing live during the event.

As a special thank you, take advantage of complimentary parking for the entire festival weekend (one parking pass will be provided for every two tickets purchased), and a unique pin that will exempt you from the bucket brigade's donation requests.
