Welcome to Carytown's only outdoor music venue, The Alley. The Alley is a free-zone for transformative experiences and a third space for those seeking meaningful connections. Here, we showcase the incredible diversity of Richmond's local musical talent, covering a wide variety of genres, backgrounds, and sounds.

The Alley was conceived as a community space, honoring the creative spirit of Richmond’s vibrant music community by offering a platform where artists can share their unique voices and stories.

In the midst of the cosmos, our venue stands as a beacon for communal gathering. It is more than just a place to hear music; it is a sanctuary where individuals come together to celebrate, dance, and express themselves freely. Our mission-driven approach challenges the traditional norms of what a music venue should be—inviting you to not just observe but to participate in the living, breathing art form that is music.
