Super Girl Surf Festival
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.
