About

Join us for a special Pay-What-You-Will tour of Carytown! Explore the history of Richmond’s "mile of style" on this walking tour of the Carytown neighborhood. In addition to being a vibrant business district, Carytown is beloved for the businesses, people and places that have supported Richmond’s LGBTQ+ community from the 1970’s to the present.

After the Tour: Enjoy 10% off your purchase at Carytown’s iconic vintage store Bygones, in business since 1979.

Advanced tickets are required. Tickets are non-refundable.
