❓FAQ
How many stages are there at Midtown Green?
Two: the Main Stage and the Second Stage. Each has its own VIP viewing area, and the accessible viewing area looks onto both.
What are the 2026 dates, and how long does the festival run?
Iron Blossom runs for two days, September 19 and 20, 2026, at Midtown Green — formerly the Training Center On Leigh — in Richmond, Virginia. The event happens rain or shine.
Do children need a ticket?
Kids aged 8 and under get in free with a ticketed adult, with a limit of two children per adult. Iron Blossom bills itself as a family-friendly, all-ages festival.
What food and drink is available on site?
Richmond-favorite food trucks and vendors, festival-curated craft cocktails and bars spread across the grounds, with a strong focus on the local craft beer scene. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available, and anyone 21 or over planning to drink should have valid ID ready.
Is camping or overnight parking allowed?
Neither. Tents, canopies and camping equipment are on the prohibited items list, and overnight parking is strictly forbidden — your vehicle has to be out of the lot by 11:59 PM.
How do I get there by train or bus?
Amtrak serves the Richmond region through three stations: Staples Mill Road, Main Street Station downtown, and Ashland. The first two are a short drive from Midtown Green. GRTC buses are free: routes 50, 76 and 77 drop off on DMV Drive next to the Science Museum, and the PULSE line has a stop on Broad Street in front of the museum.
Is the site wheelchair accessible?
Yes. A dedicated ADA entrance — separate from the main gate — is located at 2401 W Leigh St, and access to the accessible viewing area, which overlooks both stages, is arranged at the Accessibility Services Hub. ADA restrooms and accessible vendors are placed throughout the grounds. Because the site mixes grass, gravel and a hill, power-assist mobility aids are recommended; no wheelchairs or scooters are available to rent on site. Requests for ASL interpretation must be emailed at least 14 days before the event.
