2016 RVA Peace Festival!

Promoting Peace in the world

The RVA Peace Festival will take place Saturday, September 10, 2016, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, 11am to 5pm.

RVA Peace Festival is a celebration of the diverse faith and cultural traditions that enrich our region.

This year’s Festival, the 12th annual, will feature new and exciting elements! Enjoy performances from Ezibu Muntu, the Latin Ballet of Virginia, Richmond Boys Choir, Sri Sai Dance Academy, and Falun Dafa Chinese Dancers.  Children will enjoy Chalk for Peace by Art 180 and teen-led cooperative games.  All will have the chance to walk through a meditation labyrinth and experience workshops.

Food will be available for purchase from La Milpa Mexican cuisine and Zainab’s Middle Eastern Halal Delicacies.  There will also be a children’s interfaith service and a mid-day panel discussion that is a part of the ongoing “Standing Together” program series.
