Celebrate 804 Day in Downtown Richmond!

804 Day, celebrated annually on August 4th (8/04) in Richmond, VA has been an unofficial city-wide holiday for years. Back again for a second year, the official 804 Day Block Party is headed to Shockoe Bottom's 17th Street Market to celebrate the River City's creativity & culture and to kick off the 2nd annual Richmond Music Week!

​

From Friday, August 2-Friday, August, 9, explore Richmond's music scene at various concert venues, music halls, and parties during Richmond Music Week! We've put together the ultimate Downtown guide to 804 Day and Richmond Music Week. Check it out!

On Friday, August 2, the City of Richmond, Radio One and Shockoe Records will take over the area in and around 17th Street Market in Shockoe Bottom! With three stages hosting 17 local performers, 804 Day will be the biggest block party in RVA!

804 Day will showcase performances from a diverse array of local indie-rock, hip-hop, jazz, folk, soul and Latin performers. 804 Day will be held in the area around the 17th Street Farmers Market, between 16th and 17th Streets from East Main to East Grace. Local food and beer trucks will be on site for the festivities. Nonprofit organizations and arts and crafts vendors will also be showcased, and there will be a Kids' Zone play area. In between the performances, the mayor will speak and award a proclamation, declaring Aug. 4 to be 804 Day.

Join Common House and Quirk Hotel on Sunday August 4th from 10 AM-4 PM as they bring you 25+ local vendors for a market to celebrate our community. Shop the day away and make sure to swing by their friends at Field Floral and Entheos, who will join in the fun as well. Grab brunch at either Quirk or CH (or both, we won’t judge,) and enjoy a sweet treats from King of Pops.

​

This event is open to the public, so non-members of Common House are invited to not only shop, but also dine, and check out the space with tours from a member of the CH team.

Richmond Music Week is a week-long celebration, August 2-9, spotlighting Richmond Virginia’s thriving music scene. Events will take place all week at the city’s numerous live music venues and festivals. Richmond is the place to catch your favorite artists and discover a new favorite!
