Virginia Beach Neptune Festival

Business Hours

About

The Neptune Festival began as a means of enhancing the quality of life in Virginia Beach, while serving as a positive economic engine for the City as well as an attraction for residents and visitors alike. Since its inception in 1974, it has grown from modest beginnings to one of the largest and most successful special events on the East Coast.

In fulfilling its promise of community enrichment, the Neptune Festival has established and maintained a program of cooperation with over 60 local charities - sharing over $100,000 with partnering organizations each year.

Our goal is to engender a spirit of community pride, fellowship and cohesiveness for the diverse elements of the Virginia Beach citizenry. To that end, the Festival produces over 40 events during the year - from free concerts and seaside wine tastings to exciting athletic events and a 32-block long celebration on the boardwalk!
