Eight Great Things to do in Richmond

With 30-plus miles of shoreline, two yacht clubs, endless hiking and cycling trails, and a host of eateries, Richmond has a lot to offer. Each week, Grandview highlights what we think are the best, not-to-be-missed events and offerings from around the city. This week, Richmond residents can get in the fall spirit with a trip to the pumpkin patch, check out some art, attend a block party, and more!

KERMÉS ¡Viva Cultura! @Point Richmond

Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 10 a.m to 5 p.m.
Washington Elementary PTA along with Pt Richmond Neighborhood Council (PRNC) are extremely excited to announce the 3rd Annual KERMÉS ¡Viva Cultura! on in downtown Pt. Richmond.

This amazing community event allows us to celebrate our diverse Spanish-speaking cultures and customs in downtown Pt Richmond, and you now have the opportunity to experience and participate in the beauty of the Kermés. Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, Washington Elementary PTA will close part of downtown Pt Richmond to coordinate a day of live music, dancing, food, small artisan vendors, and community resources.

This celebration will showcase local Spanish-speaking businesses that make up and support our school and community, thus providing real-world representation to inspire our students outside the classroom. As Washington Elementary is a Dual-Language Immersion school, events like the Kermés expands on student education, bringing language, art, music, and culture to them. Come ride a mechanical bull, play Loteria, buy handmade artisan items, dance the day away with live bands, grab a bite to eat, and see how our students are exposed to rich culture, language, empathy, and the varying degrees that make our Culture. This is a free community event for all ages.
