This Music Getaway focuses on Virginia Beach and the free music concerts presented there almost every weekend from early May through late September.
Most of Virginia Beach's visitors are drawn to the 3-mile Boardwalk at the oceanfront, where numerous hotels and restaurants overlook the beach, most with nightly entertainment.
Highlights:
Various musical groups perform either along the Boardwalk itself or at the 17th Street Stage Park or at the 24th Street Stage Park.
Beach Music Cruise-In, Latin Fest, PANorama Caribbean Music Fest, Sandstock, The Verizon Wireless American Music Festival, Stars and Stripes Explosion and Salute to Summer are just some examples of free music events, all fine-tuned to make your Virginia Beach getaway an encore performance year after year!
Venture out to hear the birds sing at the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a prime birding territory along five miles of untouched, unspoiled pristine beach. And don't miss the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, a hands-on museum where you can learn about the singing humpback whales that visit Virginia Beach every winter.
If — after all this music — you feel like singing yourself, head to Mel's Place or Lendy's Cafe & Raw Bar for some upbeat Karaoke!
