Blue Pete's Restaurant
Hidden GemBlue Pete's Restaurant is a seafood restaurant in Pungo & Blackwater, Virginia Beach, located at 1400 N Muddy Creek Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. Pungo-area seafood restaurant known locally as a 'locals' secret,' serving dinner nightly plus a full weekend brunch service.
Blue Pete's sits on N Muddy Creek Road at the rural heart of Pungo, a seafood restaurant regulars have long called Virginia Beach's 'locals' secret.' The kitchen runs dinner service every evening, then adds a full weekend brunch — 10am to 2:30pm Saturday and Sunday — with the kitchen going dark for an hour before flipping over to the dinner menu. The restaurant doesn't take standard reservations, but private event space is available for larger gatherings. It's the kind of out-of-the-way find that rewards the drive from the Oceanfront.

Warbirds Over the Beach
October 3, 2026 – October 4, 2026 · annual
The Military Aviation Museum's premier all-warbird air show fills its Princess Anne Road grounds with flying WWII-era aircraft, bringing the museum's own airworthy collection into the sky rather than leaving it static on display. The two-day show runs 9am to 5pm alongside the museum's regular exhibits; standard museum admission applies ($17 adults, $15 seniors/military/teachers, $10 ages 5-13, free for members, WWII veterans, and children 4 and under). It's the signature annual event for Pungo's rural southern end of the city, a genuine surprise for visitors who don't expect a working WWII airfield inside Virginia Beach limits.
Autumn in the Air
November 7, 2026 · annual
A newer addition to the city's Parks & Recreation calendar, this single-day fall festival takes over Mount Trashmore Park with folk, americana, and rock bands on an outdoor stage, food and drink for purchase, and activities scattered across the lakefront lawn. Now in its third year, it's grown into the city's answer to a proper autumn street festival without the Oceanfront crowds -- bring a lawn chair or blanket, since tents and large coolers aren't allowed in the event area. Free admission and parking make it an easy afternoon add for anyone already in Kempsville.
Santa's Stocking Old Fashioned Craft Bazaar
November 14, 2026 – November 22, 2026 · annual
Now in its 48th year, Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation's holiday craft bazaar splits across two weekends and two recreation centers: Princess Anne Recreation Center hosts November 14-15, then Kempsville Recreation Center takes over November 21-22. Crafters sell handmade items ranging from stocking stuffers to fine art at budget-friendly prices, with Saturday hours 9am-4pm and Sunday hours 10am-3pm each weekend. Admission and on-site parking are free at both locations, making it an easy holiday-shopping stop regardless of which side of the city you're on.
