If you will attend large events (Richmond Forum/Altria Theater), confirm schedules and ticketing and plan arrival times events can draw thousands (Richmond BizSense).
Be aware of domestic-violence warning signs and local support options encourage people at risk to contact resources (WTVR, WRIC coverage).
Expect variable weather (multiple days with light drizzle and one very warm day) pack rain protection and layers.
