Over the last several years, The Richmond Folk Festival has grown into a local musical institution, drawing amazing lineups and huge crowds to the banks of the James River to enjoy three days of fun and music. This year, RVA correspondent Sandra Whittington was in attendance, capturing the sights of the fifth Richmond Folk Festival for your viewing pleasure. See what she saw after the jump:
