Isn’t this one of the main reasons why we attend the festival, to see the pipe bands?? Stage bands are lovely, but how often do we get to see the pipe bands? Why does the ‘grand finale’ band only get to play occassionally? THEY ARE THE RICHMOND COMPETITION BAND! Shouldn’t we be be able to hear them play more through the festival? The majority of the time they play we always miss it because THERE IS NO SCHEDULE FOR THE PIPE BANDS!! What’s wrong with this picture? Pipe bands are Celtic! Isn’t this a Celtic festival? My kids leave disappointed EVERY year because we always end up missing their performances, because we never know when they are going to play! We can’t sit at the stage all day waiting.

It was Great!! A Richmond must see and experience. Great music, weather, vendors and food. I tried the Irish Surprise (corned beef, cabbage and mashed potato).. Superb!! Guinness was flowing and fantastic. Really good performances, especially enjoyed Raising Cane's performance and the Pastor who kicked things off early with a great performance. Lots of activities for the young ones as well.. really liked the set up they had where the kids playground area was completely seperate and in a secure area away from the crowds. Thanks City of Richmond for having great events like these.. look forward to checking out more! :) Attended the festival today. It was Great!! A Richmond must see and experience.

Cynthia & Kristy, dogs don't belong where they interfere with the enjoyment of other people. Try taking your dog on a walk down your street or something, but when you go to a festival leave them home (and try to get some human friends). Let's have a Guinness. Cheers Kevin, are you retarded?

This is generally easier than trying to park in the immediate area. There is a large parking lot at 17th & Broad from which there is a short 8 block shuttle ride up Church Hill to the festival.
