Perform on Stage
The ‘Heart of the Richmond District’, a family-friendly series of night markets on Clement Street between 22nd and 25th Avenue hopes to see you in 2027!
This year we will be offering more entertainment options than ever before. In addition to our full stage, we will have a dance zone and entertainment and acoustic area.
Performers, please note:
At our night market, we prioritize fostering a welcoming atmosphere for families. Our goal is to offer a safe, inclusive, and celebratory experience that embraces diversity and caters to attendees of all ages. Additionally, we are dedicated to maintaining cleanliness throughout the event, ensuring that our spaces remain inviting for everyone. Our commitment to being non-partisan reflects our desire to unite our community without political bias or affiliation.
Event organizers are not responsible for any damages caused by weather conditions nor unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. Please prepare for inclement weather and participate at your own discretion. Thank you for your understanding.
