Richmond Zombie Walk

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!

Velma is a bad ass!

I’m totally getting this shirt by Travis Pitts.

I knew she’d be the one to survive the zombie apocalypse. I always liked her the best.

Don’t Be a Zombie. Walk and Drive Alive!

The Street Smart Campaign, an annual public education, awareness and behavioral change campaign in the Washington, DC, suburban Maryland and northern Virginia area is hosting an event in Georgetown themed “Don’t Be a Zombie. Walk and Drive Alive!” on Thursday, October 29th at 2 p.m to raise awareness about the importance of pedestrian safety, specifically prior to Halloween (a date known for a significantly high number of pedestrian deaths, particularly children) and the change to Standard Time when it gets darker earlier and becomes more difficult for pedestrians and bikers to be seen by drivers.

They are looking for individuals who would be interested in attending the event dressed as zombies and carrying cell phones, blackberrys, and PDAs, to stage a street crossing as distracted pedestrians and illustrate the dangers of not paying attention.

Date: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 2:00pm

Location: Georgetown: Intersection of K Street NW and Wisconsin Ave. NW under the Whitehurst Freeway

Ask of Zombies: To attend event dressed as zombies with cell phone, blackberry, PDA in hand, and stage a street crossing as distracted pedestrians. Also to be in the background of any remarks and media interviews given. Zombie attire is mandatory, and there is no limit to the number that can attend. The more the merrier!

THANK YOU RICHMOND!

It was a major success this year as the rain spared us yet again. Someone up there likes us.

Thanks to all of our participants and everyone who came out to see us. We easily broke last year’s attendance. The final participant count went way over 400+. Something we honestly did not expect.

Thanks for all of your donations. It’s a good cause that we hope to contribute to every year. This time around you broke every previous year’s contributions combined with over $600+. Holy smokes!

If you have any good footage we’d love to see it. We have a brand spanking new group on Flickr called “Richmond Zombie Walk“. So if you’re willing to share, we’d love to see your photos and videos and we’ll try to feature them here on the site gallery (to come).

Now just because the walk is over doesn’t mean we’ll be crawling back into the ground until next year. We’ll be popping up now and again throughout the year to say “Hi” and to share stuff we like. So bookmark us and come back to see us once in a while.

Again, thank you all. We enjoyed spending time with my RVA Zombies and I hope to see everyone next year.

bloody kisses,
