June is the perfect time to visit Richmond; the city is filled with Black history, and with Juneteenth now a national holiday, there is no better time to visit. On June 18, head to Dorey Park to join Henrico Recreation & Parks for a free public event with fair games and tents, kids zones, food trucks and entertainment such as fireworks. While there, visit the town and keep an eye out for the “Mending Walls” murals, a collaborative public art project from artists of diverse backgrounds. End the day with dinner at one of Richmond’s Black-owned restaurants like Lillie Pearl or Ms.Girlee’s Kitchen.
