44th Annual Carytown Watermelon Festival

Patient First was proud to celebrate all things watermelon while participating in the 44th Annual Carytown Watermelon Festival on Sunday, August 9. This beloved Richmond tradition brought the community together for a day filled with food, entertainment, family fun, and plenty of watermelon!

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Cary Street was transformed into a vibrant celebration featuring more than 80 vendors, live entertainment with musicians and magicians, family-friendly activities, and a variety of creative watermelon-themed products. As one of Richmond’s signature summer festivals, the event attracted enthusiastic crowds throughout the day.

Even as temperatures climbed into the high 90s, the heat did little to dampen the festival spirit. Families, friends, and visitors filled Carytown, enjoying the festivities and celebrating this longtime Richmond tradition.

Patient First representatives joined the celebration while providing valuable health and wellness resources to attendees. Throughout the day, representatives offered free blood pressure screenings, health education, and helpful giveaway items, giving festivalgoers an opportunity to focus on their health while enjoying the event.

The festival also provided an opportunity for Patient First to connect with members of the Richmond community and highlight the accessibility of our healthcare services. With a Patient First center located less than a mile from the festival, representatives shared information about this convenient location, as well as our nine centers throughout the Greater Richmond area.

Patient First is proud to support the Richmond community and was delighted to celebrate 44 years of this beloved summer tradition while promoting health, wellness, and community connection.
