Venture Richmond's signature summer concert series, Friday Cheers, presented by Coors Light and Yuengling, is back on Brown's Island for its 27th season and this year we've stepped-up the line-up to include more nationally-known performers and have added an admission of $5 or $10 for those age 13 and over (free for children age 12 and under).

The series kicks off Friday, May 6, 6:00-9:30 p.m. All events are on Brown's Island along downtown Richmond's historic riverfront. Again this year Friday Cheers will offer seven concerts and is focused on a variety of performers that may only be in the Region once this summer. The concerts take place Fridays, May 6 - June 24, not counting Friday, May 13, which is the first night of Dominion Riverrock, May 13-14 - a free event co-produced by Venture Richmond and the Richmond Sportsbackers.

Tickets may be purchased at www.ticketstobuy.com or at the door. Save $10 on the entire season if you buy a Season Pass for $35 by April !
