Richmond Jazz and Music Festival

Maymont is a historic 100-acre Victorian estate located near Richmond’s Fan District and Byrd Park. Originally donated to the city in 1925, the landmark is celebrated for its Gilded Age mansion and expansive public gardens. While it is a major cultural site, Maymont has also established itself as a premier destination for outdoor entertainment, offering a scenic, open-air alternative to the city's traditional indoor comedy clubs. The venue hosts a variety of outdoor comedy events and seasonal performances that bring national headliners to the stage. Shows are typically held on the expansive Carriage House Lawn, where the natural landscape creates a relaxed, picturesque backdrop for live stand-up. For comedy fans looking to step outside the standard club circuit, Maymont provides a unique, high-energy environment that combines Richmond’s historic charm with professional storytelling and humor.
