The annual Carnival of 5 Fires returns to bring in the spooky season on First Friday, October 2nd here in Historic Jackson Ward as part of the Richmond Arts District’s 25th Anniversary of the First Fridays Art Walk! Richmond Moon Market will be on the usual two blocks of Brook Rd from 5-10pm with local vendors, artisans, performances, tarot readers, food trucks, and more!
This year we are also celebrating 20 YEARS of PLF with an extra fiery Pyro Circus on the street, complete with fire performances of all kinds, DJs to make you move n’ groove, fire sculptures, and more surprises to light up your night! Inside Gallery5 you’ll find a multi-media PLF group art exhibit with 16 artists, special performances, bands, and a PLF Variety Show with plenty of shenanigans you’ll want to witness. Visit our libation station for all the tasty bevs And if you travel to the second floor above G5, Virago Alley HQ will be spotlighting Richmond Ren Faire’s Fire Guild which is (you guessed correctly) PLF and friends (stairs on to the left of the G5 entrance).
On the top floor their will be an installation of video projections by Todd Raviotta showcasing PLF’s two decades of dedication to participating in Richmond’s arts and culture with countless performances, workshops, events (including Decemberween, one of the biggest NYE celebration in the city)! Blue Bee Cider will also be on the top floor serving an array of options for you to enjoy as you check out photography of the Fire Guild from the inaugural Richmond Ren Faire by Dennis Garnett.
