School's Out Festival!




Last Saturday, the Richmond Kickers hosted their annual School’s Out Festival before their match against the Charleston Battery. The Festival drew thousands of local families on a hot summer day to celebrate the start of summer and the end of school! Several local vendors came out including Mad Science, U -TURN, Bounce 2 The Moon, and Great Clips- just to name a few! Children enjoyed moon bounces, getting their hair dyed, fresh squeezed lemonade, face painting, train rides, playing soccer on the Kickers field, and a chance to spend time together as a family. The Festival concluded with the Kickers pro match at 7pm against the Charleston Battery. Families that arrived to the Festival before 6pm got in for just $10 for the whole crew! Ending the evening on a high note, the Kickers took home the victory winning 3 to 1 with goals scored by Gorres, Foglesong, and Elcock.

Be sure to come out to our Independence Day Bash on July 3rd from 11am- 3pm and our Family Fest on August 14th! A special thanks to all our vendors and all the families that came out- the Festival would not have been the same without you! Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you through the rest of the season!
