Location
The Foundry
Set within the beautifully restored brick walls of Tredegar Iron Works and just steps from the American Civil War Museum, The Foundry blends Richmond’s industrial past with a refined modern feel. This historic space has been thoughtfully reimagined as a versatile event venue, offering a distinctive setting rooted in the city’s rich heritage. During the festival, it transforms into a vibrant marketplace featuring makers, vendors, and nonprofits showcasing their work, while also serving as the home of the Riverside Chats speaker series.
