Some to-dos in partic that caught our eyes

Bubbles & Blooms


There are few things kids love more than bubbles and bright colors, and Agecroft Hall & Gardens brings both with this event. Visit the lavish and historic Tudor mansion for a beautiful spring evening of food from River City Wood Fire, drinks from Garden Grove Brewing & Urban Winery, dessert from DLites Desserts, live music, and a stroll through the vibrant gardens and first floor of the museum.

Location: 4305 Sulgrave Rd (Windsor Farms)
Cost: Free - $15 (depending on guest’s age)
Date & time: Thursday, April 11; 5 - 8 pm

Ukrop’s Monument Ave 10k


This annual, very-Richmond event (celebrating its 25th anni!) is fun for everyone, and spectators are a huge reason we love coming out for the 10k. If your crew’s feeling particularly spirited, up the family fun and register here before the end of today (April 5!) to be part of the 10k Spirit Contest — presented by yours truly.

Location: N Harrison St & W Broad St (Downtown)
Cost: Free - $65 (depending on participation level)
