For 14 years, the Virginia Beach Funk Fest Beach Party has brought the funk to the Oceanfront with two days of electrifying music, delectable food, and a diverse array of vendors.
The heartbeat of the festival is its music, echoing across the beach at 24th Street on Friday and Saturday, August 23-24.
Rooted in R&B, jazz, gospel, and blues, funk is a genre that has left an indelible mark on the music scene. Influential artists like James Brown and George Clinton, the leader of Parliament-Funkadelic, have inspired countless musicians and played pivotal roles in the evolution of other genres such as disco and hip hop.
General admission to the Virginia Beach Funk Fest Beach Party is free, but capacity is limited.
For our guests desiring a closer, more comfortable viewing experience, a ticketed Preferred Viewing section is offered.
The Preferred Viewing ticket is a two-day pass providing a closer viewing area (patrons bring their own beach chairs), dedicated portable restrooms, and a cash bar. Preferred Viewing admission is guaranteed, while general admission is limited and strictly first-come, first-served.
