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!

7th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk!

by

GALLOPING CADAVERS!

 

WHEN?

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.

WHERE?

This year, as always, we will walk Carytown. And that’s it. You will find that it is exhausting to lumber around just after a few blocks. In previous years some of the locations that we walked based on popular suggestions have been “hit or miss”. We lose attendance with each new location, and there is some confusion with our out-of-town undead.

***Reminder***

Plan your rides! This starting point is about 1 mile from the initial meet up spot.

WORKSHOPS:

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.

CONTESTS:

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 Zombie Kid

– 2011 Zombie of the Year (Best Overall)

OUR PURPOSE:

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

BRAINS?! You got it! No, really..

For all of you hungry undead that will be crawling the streets of Carytown in search of brains at tomorrow’s event,  New York Deli‘s mad scientist on the street will have a little treat for you – brains. Yes, they will be serving 100% REAL BRAINS in little cups to any zombie during the walk.

Again, yes, it is real. Yes, this delicacy will be prepared and served to you for consumption. And no, you don’t have to eat it if you don’t want, but I guess we’ll see who the real undead are among us.
