The ViBe District's Saturday-morning market runs every week from April through October, 9am to noon at 611 18th Street, with local produce, seafood, baked goods, and Virginia wines from area farms and makers. When the regular season ends in late October it doesn't disappear — a winter schedule continues on the first and third Saturdays through March. Parking is easiest in the Runnymede lots on Cypress Avenue or the convention center lot.
First Friday ViBe
August 7, 2026 – October 2, 2026 · monthly (first Fridays, May–October)
On the first Friday of each month from May through October, the ViBe Creative District opens up from 6 to 10pm with local artist pop-ups, live music, open mic sets, and DJs — a chance to meet the makers and muralists who give the district its character. It's the ViBe at its most ViBe: deliberately local, a few blocks inland from the boardwalk crowds. Park in the ViBe lot on 18th Street or at the Oceanfront Library; the season's remaining 2026 dates run through early October.
Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championships

The world's oldest continuously running surfing competition returns for its 64th year, turning the south end of the Oceanfront — from the 1st Street Jetty up to 10th Street — into a week-long surf carnival. More than 850 competitors surf pro and amateur divisions, including a WSL qualifying event, while the beach fills out with skate and BMX demos, live music, and tournament games. It's the anchor event of late summer at the beach and the best week of the year to watch serious surfing at the 1st Street break.
