Live Music in a Historic Venue
The Beacon Theatre
The Beacon Theatre is Hopewell’s crown jewel. This historic music venue was built in the 1920’s and continues to offer memorable concert experiences to visitors a century later. World-class acts, such as Graham Nash, The Byrds, and The Old Dominion Barn Dance have recently graced the stage at The Beacon. Located in downtown Hopewell, the Beacon is convenient to a host of lodging and dining options. Come for a show (or two) and make a day or weekend trip out of it.
Featured Event:
Old Dominion Barn Dance
Saturday Oct. 26th @ 4:00 – 10:00 PM
Starring the best talent from around Central Virginia on the first half of each show–including a guest bluegrass band–and your favorite Nashville stars on the second half, it’s like getting two shows in one. All that entertainment makes the Old Dominion Barn Dance the most popular country music show this side of the Grand Ole Opry!
Our five shows a year are held at The Beacon Theatre in Hopewell, VA, just 15 minutes south of Richmond. The beautiful and newly renovated theater has well lit parking areas, and plenty of great seating with no bad seat in the house. They offer refreshments that are allowed in the auditorium, including snacks and bar beverages, and there is plenty of handicapped seating and parking available.
