James River Week, September 9th to September 16th, is a week-long celebration of Virginia’s most incredible natural asset! This annual event is the culmination of many like-minded groups coming together to offer recreational, environmental, and educational activities in, on, and around the James River.
We are extremely grateful to our restaurant partners participating in James River Week 2023 through our Seafood for the James promotion!
Each restaurant will be offering a delicious seafood or fish dish from September 9th-16th in which 10% of all sales from the dish will be donated to JRA to help protect the 10,000 miles of our James River watershed. Be sure to ask about it when you go!
Check out the list below, enjoy a great meal, and treat yourself while giving back to the James!
