Virginia Beach Restaurant Week
January 15, 2027 – January 24, 2027 · annual
The Virginia Beach Restaurant Association's flagship dining event fills each January with prix-fixe menus at roughly five dozen restaurants citywide, from Laskin Road institutions to Oceanfront hotel dining rooms. The 2026 edition ran the theme 'Tastes & Traditions, A Culinary Celebration by Land and by Sea,' spotlighting Chesapeake staples like crab, oysters, ham, and peanuts alongside modern reinterpretations. A companion Dine & Stay program bundles discounted rates at more than a dozen partner hotels, making it as much a slow-season visitor draw as a locals' night out. The VBRA runs the event out of its Laskin Road office in Hilltop, the city's densest cluster of independent kitchens.
American Music Festival
September 4, 2026 – September 6, 2026 · annual
Beach Events' Labor Day weekend concert series bills itself as the largest outdoor music festival on the East Coast, spreading national, regional, and local acts across a 60-foot stage at 5th Street plus free park stages at 17th, 24th, and 31st Streets along the boardwalk. Past headliners have included Sheryl Crow, the Doobie Brothers, ZZ Top, and Zac Brown Band, with tickets sold per show, as a three-day Passport Pin, or as VIP packages, while the park stages stay free. It's the Oceanfront's last big blowout of the summer season, timed to send visitors off before the crowds thin out after Labor Day.
Super Girl Surf Festival
September 5, 2026 – September 7, 2026 · annual
Virginia Beach's first-ever edition of the 20-year-old Super Girl Pro series takes over the 1st Street Jetty for Labor Day weekend, billing itself as the world's largest women's surf, music, and lifestyle festival. The free three-day festival pairs a WSL Qualifying Series (QS4000) pro surfing competition — the highest-level women's surf event in North America — with more than 4,000 female athletes across 14 sports (skateboarding, beach volleyball, flag football, lacrosse, soccer and more), fitness classes, and 22 free concerts headlined by acts like Switchfoot and Lupe Fiasco. Everything is free, but concert access requires advance registration at the event's own site.
