The Neptune Festival is Virginia Beach’s biggest party of the year. Boardwalk Weekend fills the Oceanfront from 1st to 35th Street with a juried art and craft show, free concerts at the 24th and 31st Street parks, a Grand Parade, an 8K, a surfing classic and a volleyball tournament. It always starts on the last Friday in September, and 2026 was the 53rd year.
