November 2019

The colors of fall are on full display throughout the city, and November is filled with family-friendly holiday festivities for everyone to enjoy. From parties in the Oceanfront and ViBe Districts, to a dazzling light show at the boardwalk, we have much for which to be thankful this month in Virginia Beach.

The 1st Friday of each month is cause for a party in Virginia Beach’s ViBe Creative District. Celebrate local businesses and the arts from 4pm to 7pm in our arts and entertainment community.  The monthly event takes place on 17th-22nd Streets, from Pacific to Parks Avenues.
