Greyhounds On The Square
As part of the OnTheSquareVa series that encourages Virginia State Employees to get moving and enjoy Capitol Square, this event at the Bell Tower on Capitol Square includes a JRG table and the opportunity to meet some of their greyhounds. It is free and open to anyone interested in learning about retired racing greyhounds. Attendees are welcome to bring their own hounds to showcase the breed while spending time on the State Capitol grounds. Metered parking is available on 10th Street between Main and Bank and between Governor and 14th, and there is also a visitor parking deck.

The CamelSon of a Carpenter Tour
Australian comedian, actor, and writer Jim Jefferies brings his worldwide Son of a Carpenter tour to Dominion Energy Center for the Performing Arts, showcasing the sharp, provocative humor that built his global following. Over ten stand-up specials since Contraband in 2008, including the 2023 Netflix hour High & Dry, he has tackled everything from the quirks of koalas and the trials of hair loss to the reasons he swore off alcohol, all with a blend of bite and insight. On screen he created, executive produced, and starred in the FX series Legit, and he co-created and hosted The Jim Jefferies Show on Comedy Central for three seasons. He was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at the Just for Laughs Festival in 2019, and this tour continues his run of thought-provoking comedy on stages around the world.
