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!
We are fortunate to again have the super talented Abigail Larson create the official event poster for 2011! (Remember last year’s poster contest winner?)
Like last year we will be offering high quality prints at the event for $5 and soon on shirts at our Zazzle site. All profits will go to the American Cancer Society.
Until then, check out Abigail’s amazing work.
The 7th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk will take place on Saturday, October 29th. Pre-walk meet up at Byrd Park (Boat Lake) is at 1pm and the actual walk will begin on the sidewalk in front of Kroger on W. Cary Street in Carytown immediately after.

***Reminder***
Plan your rides! This starting point is about 1 mile from the initial meet up spot.
Do you want to go beyond the basic bloody mess of a freshly turned zombie? Luckily we have some of the goriest zombies who are willing to show you how fun making rotting flesh can be. Make up and costume workshops will be held in October. Upcoming details can be found at RichmondZombieWalk.com.
Here are the categories we’ll be judging. Prizes will be awarded at the pre-walk meet up.
– Most Disgusting
– Best Couple/Group Theme
– Best Pop Culture Theme (TV/Movie/Comic/Gaming)
– Best Zombie Kid
– 2011 Zombie of the Year (Best Overall)
Our activities this year will benefit The American Cancer Society. Again,we won’t require anyone to make a donation, but if everyone can pitch in $5 each, it will be much appreciated. Let’s raise even more money this year than we have in the past!
Again, stay tuned for upcoming information and details. If you have any questions, ideas or would like to help out in any way, send us a message at info@richmondzombiewalk.com
BRAAAIIINS!
Thank you all for another wonderful event. So many amazing costumes. Thanks to all of our costume contest winners, to Abigail Larson for her incredible event poster, to the new zombie bride and groom, to Carytown for being such good sports about it, to New York Deli, Blood Lake, Regal Cinemas, Mark, Margaret, our new partners in crime RVA Freaks, American Cancer Society.. and anyone I can’t think of offhand.
I’m exhausted and the Halloween weekend has only begun.
We still have posters for sale ($5) and soon it will be a t-shirt (stay tuned for details on that).
We don’t have the official attendance, but we’re looking at 650+ easily.. official donations will be forthcoming as well.
Again, thank you Richmond for everything. We love you.
Dead Mason and Grey Matter
UPDATE: Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to raise over $900 ($920 exactly) in donations. Smashing last year’s donations by over $300. You guys are the best.
