While many Richmond area schools don’t start back until after the Labor Day holiday, most of us are already in a back-to-school state of mind…or at least trying to get there! We’ve already started thinking about schedules and calendars and trying to make sure we’ve got our family ready for all that the school year entails. And for many of us, that means getting after school activities lined up. To help you get all of your ducks in a row, we’ve put together an updated Guide to After School Activities in Greater Richmond so that you’ll have easy access to all the best programs and resources available in your area. Be sure to check it out!
In the meantime, we’ve got plenty of fun-filled activities for your family in the coming week. From county fairs to end of summer celebrations, you’ll find something to keep everyone in your crew busy and entertained. Check out our highlighted favorites below, then be sure to visit our full event calendar for even more family events and fun.
