The Appomattox Iron Works is a special outdoor event venue in the heart of Petersburg.

Immerse yourself in the sounds of Rodney "The Soul Singer" Stith and an improvised soundscape to accompany the projections by LIV, a music mentorship non-profit working with regional youth.

This is a free community event for all ages, so bring the whole family!
