live music

We are honored and excited to be the beneficiary of a new RVA event called JamPacked Craft Beer and Music Festival!  Hope you’ll join us on Saturday, August 13 from 4-11 pm on Brown’s Island in Richmond.  We’ll use proceeds from the event to further our mission to engage and unite Virginians in improving our natural and scenic environment.

The name JamPacked comes from the fact that it’s being brought to you by WestRock, a company that designs and produces paper-based packaging for more than 400 craft beverage companies nationwide. JamPacked will feature some of these valued customer partners in recyclable aluminum cans so that we can minimize our landfill waste.  The Jam part of the name is for the live music that will be playing!

JamPacked is going to have environmentally conscious craft brewers, inspiring bands and concertgoers who want a better future!  WestRock is committed to creating a waste-free event utilizing only recyclable materials and create a great local experience in the Richmond market.
