As a new Richmonder, I’m really trying to get involved in my community, explore all that the city has to offer, and meet others who enjoy the same. What’s going on right now? Where can someone go to make friends and hangout?

Welcome!
If you haven't seen it, there's a weekend events thread each week: https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/y8v3wf/weekend_event_thread/
There have also been a lot of threads about how to find friends - try searching in the sidebar for "friends" and see what comes up.

Welcome to richmond! grab a PBR, get drunk on your porch, befriend a stray cat during the day and a possum at night, youll be fine
Ktyykt OP t1_iteorgt wrote
But what is a drunken adventure without friends?
CptJaxxParrow t1_iteoyck wrote

Ktyykt OP t1_itepbvv wrote
What if they don’t like PBR? Then I’m screwed.

Welcome! Depending on your age, location and the vibe you’re looking for, there are some great local haunts. I’m in the Willow Lawn area and I love Jack Browns if you’re a beer or cider drinker for a low key hang, and Don’t Look Back has great tacos, pool tables and a good vibe. Definitely check out the weekend events thread because there’s always festivals and events going on, weather permitting.

Is it more of a locals spot or a mixed crowd?
