It was a great Purple Martin Festival in downtown Richmond, VA Shockhoe
Bottom neighborhood by the 17th Street Farmers Market. and the birds
were right on time. We had a large and happy crowd, a great juggler,
cool gelato, and informative booths from local organizations to educate
you and answer questions.
If you missed it it is not too late - the birds will still be roosting
on 18th Street pear trees by the parking lots for at least this month of
August. They are getting fat and ready to make that long trek to South
America. Check out the coupons for local businesses (GOOD FOR THE
MONTH) on our website and take an evening and bring your family to see
this awesome sight and have a delicious dinner or drink. They land
starting at 8:15 and the tens of thousands of birds are all in those few
Bartlett Pear trees by 8:30PM. www.gonetothebirdsrva.com
