Hammers & Ales: Richmond's Community Build + Brews is TOMORROW and we can't wait to see you there.

Check below for exclusive insights for an unforgettable Hammers & Ales experience...

To help make the most of this fantastic day of community engagement and mouth-watering delights, we've put together some tips & reminders for an unforgettable experience!

Gates open at 1:30 PM!

Building Session #1 = 2 PM

Building Session #2 = 4 PM

We recommend arriving at Dorey Park Farmers Market 30 minutes before your building session to allow plenty of time to find parking, check-in, find your team, and grab a beverage or two before building a park bench or picnic table. Dorey Park has ample parking for you, just follow the folks directing traffic.

ToolBank is providing everything you need for a successful build day. All the lumber, tools, materials, and instructors are ready for you. Just be ready to use those muscles, hang with your crew, and enjoy a beverage or two.

STAY HYDRATED

Hydration is key and we encourage you to bring your refillable water bottle to keep yourself refreshed. There will be water-filling stations throughout the event. Plus - we'll be slinging craft beverages, and food trucks will be selling n/a beverages as well. There is also a splash pad located near the building zone in case you want to cool off!

PREPARE FOR THE WEATHER

Hammers & Ales is a RAIN OR SHINE event. Check the weather, wear comfortable clothes + shoes meant for action, and be prepared for an awesome day at Dorey Park. Also, don't forget to pack that sunscreen!

Craft Beverages, Food Vendors & Games!

CRAFT BEVERAGES: Be sure to check out our craft beverage options. We'll have local craft beer, light lagers, cider, a canned cocktail, and wine by the glass. We ask that you get your ID checked before purchasing your drinks tickets (cash & cards accepted). Beer sales start at 1:30 PM and the last call is at 4:30 PM.

Remember, proceeds from your drink tickets directly support Dorey Park Farmers Market & their amazing mission.

N/A Beverages: Food truck vendors will be selling n/a beverages at their trucks + The Squeeze will be on deck slinging their tasty lemonades.

FOOD TRUCKS: Food Vendors will be located near our Beer Zone. Check these sites for their current offerings, Big Wife's Mac & Jus Cukn! The Squeeze will be serving tasty lemonades all day too!

POST HAMMERS & ALES: Dorey Park Farmers Market is hosting their Second Saturdays concert series. Gates open at 6 PM and Full Moon Fever will be taking the stage at 7 PM!

From myself & the Richmond ToolBank crew, we're looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at our community build + brews event. We know it's going to be an epic day and we can't wait to see an incredible group of talented builders come together to do some good for their community.
