Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront
Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a oceanfront hotels hotel in Oceanfront, Virginia Beach, located at 1201 Atlantic Ave. Marriott's design-forward Moxy brand on the boardwalk at 12th Street — check in at the bar, then hit the seasonal pool's two-story slide.
The boardwalk's design-forward alternative to the standard beach hotel: a seven-story, 134-room property built for Marriott's youth-oriented Moxy brand at 12th Street. Guests check in at the bar instead of a front desk, and "cozy and smart" bedrooms give way to vibrant, plugged-in social spaces that deliberately skip the conventional resort formula. The seasonal outdoor pool's two-story slide is a genuine rarity on the Boardwalk, and every one of the 134 rooms faces the ocean.

Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend
September 25, 2026 – September 27, 2026 · annual
Virginia Beach's signature festival closes out September with its 52nd Boardwalk Weekend, spreading across the Oceanfront between 1st and 35th Streets. The headline draw is Neptune's International Sandsculpting Championship — 22 large-scale works by sculptors from around the world — alongside an art and craft show with more than 200 artisans, twenty-plus musical acts across festival stages, the Grand Parade, Neptune's 8K, and a surfing competition at the jetty. Most of it is free to attend, and it reliably fills the resort area for one last big weekend of the season.
Virginia MOCA Boardwalk Art Show
October 9, 2026 – October 11, 2026 · annual
One of the longest-running outdoor art shows on the East Coast marks its 70th year along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. Produced by the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the juried show brings artists from across the country to sell painting, sculpture, photography, glass, and fine craft directly to visitors with the Atlantic as the backdrop. Hours run 10am–6pm Friday, 10am–5pm Saturday, and 10am–4pm Sunday, and October's thinner crowds make it an easy, walkable browse.
Wicked 10K Weekend
October 30, 2026 – October 31, 2026 · annual
Coastal Virginia's largest Halloween race weekend starts at the Convention Center on 19th Street and finishes on the Boardwalk near 20th, with runners in costume covering the flat, fast oceanfront course for the 10K, a Wicked 5K, or the shorter Monster Mile. A costume contest and a post-race beach party with food and drink follow the finish line. Presented by Sentara and run by J&A Racing — the same organizer behind the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend — it's the Halloween counterpart to that spring race on the same stretch of Boardwalk.
