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 and art galleries, Richmond has a lot to offer. Each week, Grandview highlights the best, not-to-be-missed events and offerings from around the city. This week: Richmond residents can celebrate fall at Richmond's official Fall Festival, visit a wine fair, and stop in at the annual Cops and Goblins Open House.
