RVA WAKE N' SUN FEST 2013

Summer is swiftly coming to an end, but that doesn't mean it can't go out with a bang! This year, Rocket's Landing is proud to debut  the RVA Wake N' Sun Fest .  

This brand new festival will take place on September 1st at Rocket's Landing near the Boathouse Restaurant. The festival will include food trucks, beer trucks,  live music, water-sports, and over fifty vendors!  Tickets are around $10-15 dollars, but if you check Groupon or Richmond Daily Deals, you might find them cheaper.

Spirited Art

See if there is a location near you!

This establishment combines friends, food, and art in a humble environment. The studio is conducive to families, couples, friends, or private events. The instructors are very nice and helpful. Each week, the studio holds a class featuring a new piece of art; the artwork ranges from instructor originals to recreations of famous pieces such as Starry Night. Another appealing aspect- the classes are for all ranges of ability and talent; one does not need experience to join the fun. The canvas and paints are provided by the studio. Price isn't too bad either- typically in the $30-35 dollar range. If you love art, or if you are looking for a new hobby, I would suggest looking into Spirited Art; just remember to listen to their slogan: "Don't drink the paint-water!" :)
