Sandbridge Pig Pickin'
September 12, 2026 · annual
The Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad's all-you-can-eat pig roast at Little Island Park has been the neighborhood's signature fundraiser for more than four decades, paying for the advanced life-saving equipment behind the squad's 1,000-plus annual emergency calls. Barbecue, beer and wine, live music, local art vendors, and a bounce house for kids fill the park for an afternoon, with free admission for children under 10. It's Sandbridge at its most neighborly -- a beach-community fundraiser rather than a tourist draw, held at the same park that anchors the south end of the beach.
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.
Cherry Blossom Festival
March 26, 2027 – March 28, 2027 · annual
Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation's spring showcase fills Red Wing Park's cherry tree grove with live cultural performances, martial arts demonstrations, and hands-on crafts timed to peak bloom in late March. The 2026 edition added a first-ever Nighttime Hanami, lighting the blossoms after dark on opening evening before the daytime festival took over the weekend. Admission and parking are free, with an overflow grass field opening for weekend crowds -- a genuinely photogenic, low-key alternative to the Oceanfront festival circuit, along General Booth Boulevard.
