​Support Music and Arts in Richmond Public Schools

Celebrate local talent and student achievements at this vibrant event featuring an eclectic mix of performances, including music, dance, and spoken word. This year's lineup includes internationally renowned jazz saxophonist James Saxsmo Gates, the dynamic Dap Mallory Band, and the phenomenal RPS All City Marching Band.

Thanks to community support, the East End Festival has raised over $400,000 in the past five years, enhancing music and arts education in Richmond's East End schools. These funds have equipped students with string instruments, band instruments, choral risers, uniforms, pianos, and new kilns for art programs.

We're excited to return to the gorgeous Chimborazo Park on Saturday, September 21, 2024. We invite families, music lovers, and art enthusiasts to enjoy performances by local professionals, including members of the Richmond Symphony. Your support is crucial as we continue to enrich the educational experiences of our students and celebrate the vibrant arts in Richmond Public Schools.
