Church Hill Chillers Ghost Tour

Sat Oct 1 9:00 pm
Birthplace of the American Revolution, and home to a notorious Civil War spy, Church Hill\’s colorful past has produced a cadre of restless spirits in its buildings, its graveyards, and under its streets!

Crazy Bet\’s stomping grounds
Poe\’s first and last love
The oldest public cemetery in Richmond

Hogtoberfest

Sat Oct 1
If you were a fan of the previous pork festivals on the Hill you’re going to love Hogotberfest, celebrating local BBQ, live music and beer.

This festival, like it’s predecessor will become a Richmond rite of passage to the fall festival season. We’re keeping some of the ‘ol traditions of High On the Hog, and adding in new aspects that match the neighborhood as it is today, highlighting historic Church Hill’s Libby Park. Proceeds from Hogtoberfest will benefit CHA.
