41st Annual Neptune Festival

Every year, hundreds of thousands people head to the Virginia Beach oceanfront for the city’s largest and widest attended festival; The Neptune Festival Art & Craft Show.  This year marks the 41st Annual.  It has been ranked among the top 10 festivals on the East Coast and is one of one of America’s top 100 festivals.  As a matter of fact, The Library of Congress lists the Neptune Festival on its America’s Story website.

The Art & Craft Show portion is produced by The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art and showcases over 275 artists and crafters lined up and down the boardwalk.  Daily concerts at festival stages are scattered along 32 blocks of the boardwalk and feature a variety of live music and performers.  Great local, as well as national talent will flood the boardwalk to celebrate the city-wide festival.  The stages this year will be located on 17th, 24th, and 31st Streets.  In addition to live entertainment, the Boardwalk Weekend will consist of an International Sandsculpting Championship (a world-class sandcastle competition), a wine tasting, delectable food, a grand parade, fireworks and numerous athletic competitions (including a 5K and 8K race, a volleyball tournament and Neptune's Atlantic Regatta); among many other things.
