Folk Festival! It's hands down Richmond's best event. Just don't try and park close by, find a spot on Broad or Grace near Fifth street and take the extra 10-15 minutes to walk over, it will save you a huge headache!

Scott's Addition has a ton of breweries and restaurants if that's your scene, usually on the weekends its pretty busy but with the Folk Festival going on it will probably re-direct some of that density.

Definitely stay in W. Broad Village, traffic in comparison to N. Chesterfield is nominal and its a much nicer area with a lot of shopping and restaurants!
