Once a year, the Goochland Day Foundation brings the Goochland Courthouse to life! With your participation, we are able to welcome our neighboring kids, students, families, and friends to come together to gaze at the unique and beautifully decorated floats, and cuddly animals, and move to the beat of the drums and instruments played by talented bands during the Goochland Day Parade and Festival! GDF is so excited to kick off the parade at 10 am from Six Pence: 2913 River Rd W. disbursing at the Reed Marsh neighborhood and Goochland Elementary School. At the conclusion of the parade, slide on over to the Goochland Sports Complex (GSC), 1898 Sandy Hook Road where you will find the festival from 11 am to 4 pm! Goochland Day is a one-day event scheduled for Saturday, May 20, 2023 however we ask that you hold the rain date of Sunday, May 21, 2023, and reserve your availability to be present for the weekend. GDF will confirm the date (weather permitting) one (1) week prior to the event. We expect exhibitors have liability insurance, a current business license, and accept full responsibility for their own negligence and other wrongful acts and omissions attending Goochland Day as the festival committee and its organizers are not responsible for injuries, losses, or damage of any kind. Goochland Day is a fun-filled family event hosted by an independent and private not-for-profit foundation.
