VA Beach Jeep Fest
BeachEvents' third annual Jeep Fest turns the Oceanfront into a three-day gathering for Jeep owners, with a Show & Shine vehicle display, vendor and accessory booths, a sunrise beach cruise, and a sand obstacle course for anyone who wants to test their rig on the beach itself. Hall Chrysler Jeep and other local dealers sponsor the free event, which fills a normally quiet post-Halloween weekend at the resort strip. Registration and the full activity schedule run through the event's own site, vabeachjeepfest.com.
