​

Covering roughly 15 acres, the one-of-a-kind main venue for Dominion Energy Riverrock features historic landmarks and breathtaking river views and it’s all located within walking distance of everything downtown RVA has to offer!

Get up close as the pros face off in awe-inspiring competitions like climbing, slackline, and freestyle bike events, or the flying pups in the Subaru Ultimate Air Dogs. We also have a full schedule of awesome live bands taking the stage throughout the weekend!

The best way to win at this festival is to get in the middle of the action. Participate in one of our events and see firsthand why Richmond’s outdoor culture has sky-rocketed to new heights! Suit up and hit the trails on foot or by bike, take to the water in your kayak or SUP, or try a multi-event challenge!

​

Make sure to visit our Adventure Zones and try a kayak or SUP in the canal, venture on a group hike, demo a slackline, and more! Adventure Zones are great for all ages! All demo areas are FREE, courtesy of Riverrock’s partners. Grab your friends and family and give bouldering a try, test your balance on a stand up paddle board or slackline, go on a group hike, learn the art of brewing from Sierra Nevada, and more!

​

Run, bike, paddle, thrill-seek, or just try something new - all in the same day if you want! Downtown Richmond’s riverfront serves as the perfect backdrop for any outdoor activity. Pick your level of adventure and experience Dominion Energy Riverrock your way!

Dominion Energy Riverrock, organized by Venture Richmond Events, LLC and Sports Backers, began in 2009 and is now the nation's premier outdoor sports and lifestyle festival, bringing athletes, spectators and musicians to Brown’s Island for a three-day festival against the backdrop of downtown Richmond’s urban riverfront. The festival features a variety of outdoor sports including trail running, kayaking, biking, bouldering, slacklining, stand up paddleboarding and dog jumping. The event was designed to promote Richmond’s unique riverfront, downtown trails, and whitewater rapids to outdoor enthusiasts.
