Galactic Bash | "May the 4th be with you"

Embrace the Force on Friday, May the 4th (Be With You), from 8:00pm to 2:00am in Virginia’s capitol as galactic travelers come together to celebrate the most sacred date in all of the Sci-Fi Galaxy!

Prepare for an intergalactic party experience and gather with your fellow rebels and other galactic adventurers for a night of cosmic revelry during Richmond’s most die-hard GALACTIC celebration of the year — one night only!

Join the Dark side and event producer Markster Con, along with Richmond's own Cosplay World for a 21+ party and dance celebration that will attract some of RVA’s most wretched hive of scum and villainy to – as well from all corners of the Galaxy.

Set your blasters to stun and suit up in your favorite cosmic attire - no matter if you are a member of the Galactic Federation or not.
