RICHMOND METROPOLITAN CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
Welcome to Gay and Lesbian Richmond
History. Open for all. Experience the unique heritage of the Richmond Region, where four centuries of history and vibrant modern-day culture come together. Explore the area’s rich legacy and diversity and discover the many reasons that the Region is so welcoming and so easy to love.
More than a century ago, this area served as the center point in the most pivotal event in the history of the United States – the Civil War. Today, nearly 150 years later, the Region remains a uniquely moving place where you can still feel the power and influence of this momentous turn. Few places blend 400 years of rich history with the distinctive indulgences of the modern era – from trendy restaurants and upscale shopping to world-class art, stirring attractions and luxurious accommodations.
Add a unique touch of history, allure, and charm to your next convention, meeting or group tour in the Historic Richmond Region, where state-of-the-art technology intertwines with charming historical atmosphere. Choose from a vast selection of Richmond meeting facilities, venues and accommodations, including several TAG certified properties. Learn just how easy it is for your group to get here, thanks to Richmond International Airport and our central setting on the East Coast, within a day’s drive of half of the U.S. population.
While the Richmond Region doesn’t have a particular gay and lesbian district, LGBT visitors will find its neighborhoods, corner restaurants and locally owned shops very welcoming. Don’t miss Carytown, home to nine blocks of gay-friendly unique shops and dining, several of which are gay owned or offer LGBT nightlife.
