What's Booming in Richmond: Stews, Stouts, and Veterans

A Taste of Richmond Holiday brings the entrees, the desserts, the snacks, the coffees, the boozes, and the cooking demos from Richmond’s finest culinary masters. Is there a better way to taste Richmond all at once? Thursday, Nov. 7 from 6-9 p.m. at Dominion Energy Center.

A bunch of bowls of stew from Virginia stew masters … and a bunch of pints of stouts from Virginia stout masters (and maybe a little mead sprinkled in, too). The event? Why, it’s the Harvest Stew and Stout Festival, of course. Need I say more? Sunday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at Dorey Park.

Want to break the spell of Alzheimer’s disease? That’s an easy one. Join fellow Richmonders – plus best-selling author and neuroscientist Lisa Genova – for Alzheimer’s Day in RVA, for education, fighting, and inspiration. Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 5 p.m. at Modlin Center for the Arts.
