Activate! presents:
Every August in the 2000s, Richmond was home to one of the greatest festivals in the world – Best Friend’s Day! Tonight at 5pm, we’re going to look back ten years to Best Friend’s Day 2010 and hear from every single band that played while we circled the pits at the Bike Lot and Canal Club, leapt from the rope swing at Hadad’s, relieved our hangovers at Mojo’s, stocked up on the day’s beverages at Fine Foods, and sweat it all out at Gallery 5.
