Join us for our Season Finale on September 14:
Achilles Wheel and Ruckatan Latin Tribe!
The Point Richmond Music (PRM) annual free music festival concludes on Friday,
September 14th, with Achilles Wheel and Rúckatan Latin Tribe bringing the summer to a rousing close! Join us from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in historic downtown Point Richmond (Park Place between West Richmond and Washington Avenues) for a street party like no other. In addition to free music, the concert will features an opportunity drawing, arts and education booths, face-painting for children and dancing in the streets. PRM, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, produces the series in support of its mission to build community through the unifying language of music.
 Local restaurants offer a wide array of cuisines, and a rotating selection of food trucks pull up to each concert. Concert-goers can pair fine food with beverages from PRM’s no-host bar, with proceeds directly supporting the music series. And making its debut, we're excited to introduce the Tap Truck, serving Richmond's own Benoit-Casper Brewing craft beers! Festival-style seating is available with a limited number of chairs provided, and concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own festival/lawn chairs. Please visit www.pointrichmondmusic.org for more information.
