The Grand Kick-Off Celebration

The Grand Kick-Off Celebration begins Friday, November 27, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and admission is completely FREE! Join us as we light up the season with a day full of holiday magic, featuring a vibrant market in the Carriage House, Pavilion, and heated tent filled with local artisans and crafters. You can enjoy our most famous Granny’s Spice Tea and a warm bowl of Keith Butler’s signature Brunswick stew while you shop for unique treasures. The festivities culminate in a beautiful tree lighting ceremony on Friday evening, accompanied by festive caroling from the Greater Richmond Chorus, an award-winning, non-profit a cappella show chorus based in RVA. The market continues all weekend through November 29, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Register Here
