Richmond, Virginia's Zombie Walk has become an annual tradition attracting young and old undead from all across the east coast. At its heart, the Richmond Zombie Walk is a fundraising parade benefiting various charities. We have costume contests and sometimes stage zombie attacks on poor innocent bystanders (all in the name of fun). So put on your bloody best and join the horror show!
ATTENTION! LOCATION CHANGE!
On Saturday, October 24 2015, the starting point will now be at DIXIE DONUTS (2901 W Cary St, Richmond, VA 23221). It’s a little closer to the meet up spot. We’ll walk heading west, cross at Nansemond Street and head back to end the walk at The BYRD THEATRE (2908 W Cary St, Richmond, VA 23221)
The updated map with the new route can be found here: https://goo.gl/iG22EW
See you soon!
The official 11th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk poster has arrived! Created by the horribly wonderful illustrator Abigail Larson. The 2015 poster will be available for $5 or you can get the entire set of 6 posters for $20 at the event on Saturday, October 24th. All proceeds go to The American Cancer Society. And if that wasn’t enough, Abigail will be there to autograph them. Visit our event page here on Facebook or RichmondZombieWalk.com for all the gory details. See you there!
Oh how the time flies when you’ve got nothing to do but pick maggots out your own rotting flesh.
After months of scavenging for rodents along the sewers of the James River, your zombie masters have returned to the surface and are hungry for human flesh and BRAAAAAINS.
The 11th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk will take place on Saturday, October 24th. Pre-walk meet up/staging area location at 1pm will be held at Boat Lake at Byrd Park (on Boat Lake Drive) and the actual walk will begin on the sidewalk in front of Kroger (3507 W Cary St, Richmond, VA 23221) in Carytown immediately after at about 2:30p.

BRAAAIIINS!
RVA, you’re brains are delicious!
We were fortunate enough to have the weather cooperate this year and the event ran perfectly. Thanks to everyone (alive and undead) who came out to support us and the American Cancer Society. You all contributed over $500 in donations this year. Fantastic! We appreciate every single penny.
Congratulations to all of our costume contest winners. They really do get harder to judge every year because you guys rock the house like that.
Special thanks to Abigail Larson for her talented work on our event posters. We are very lucky to have her. Stay tuned for next year’s special 10th anniversary poster.
Yes, next year is our 10th anniversary! It’s big deal, so expect big deal things to happen.
Thanks to Colonial Shooting Academy, Richmond Brewery Tours, RVA Magazine, everyone who shared their photographs and videos of the event, and thanks to you – my little rotten walkers.
Stinking smooches to all. Until next year.
Only a few of you lucky undead will lumber away with FABULOUS CASH AND PRIZES!!! Just kidding. There’s no cash. However, we will have a some rather neat prizes and a token trophy to show you that, even though we hunger for human flesh and brains like you, we care.
Here are the categories we’ll be judging. Prizes will be awarded at the pre-walk meet up.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at their bloody best on Saturday, October 26th at 1pm at The Landing at Byrd Park. Check us out at our site’s Event Info page or on our Facebook event page for all of the gory details!
