Cure Your #Cold End of February Blues


     It's cold outside and some of us are tricked into thinking that means there’s nothing to do but cook and watch movies under blankets, but for Richmonders next week, this is not true.  Slowly kicking into gear is the beginning of Richmond’s wonderful festival season!  So get out there and start shaking off your winter blues starting with the upcoming Bluegrass Jam!

     On February 21, Richmond Bluegrass Jam will be returning for its 6th year.  It's held at the Cultural Arts Center in Glen Allen from noon to midnight.  A marathon of bluegrass, 30 bands from around the region will be playing to help support the Richmond Fisher House.  This event is family friendly and free, but donations are encouraged.  So get out of the house and get your jam on for a good cause.

     If you find yourself culturally lacking on February 26, head downtown to either the Virginia Historical Society, the one of a kind Byrd Theatre, or Bowtie Movieland/Criterion theater to celebrate the Richmond International Film Festival.  It's a fun event for movie enthusiasts or inspiring filmmakers alike! Events and films are being held from Feb 26-March 1.  It's tons of fun, culturally enriching, an inspiring, creative atmosphere and it's great to go with friends or a lovely date ;-).  Plus, you can stay warm indoors!

     Or, if you don’t mind the cold, the Polar Plunge Winter Fest benefitting the Special Olympics Virginia is going down on February 28.  With many different levels of participation, this is fun for the whole family!  Attending is free, but participation requires raising $50 for the cause.  Music and games will be held in the Westhampton Field near Libbie/Patterson intersection.

     Just because it’s technically still winter, doesn’t mean you have an excuse to stay hibernating for much longer!  Get out there and start having some fun.
