“Neptune Festival”

2025 marks the 51st anniversary of the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival! Every year, over 200 artisans display their handmade arts and crafts along the Boardwalk. This Art & Craft Show has been ranked 5^th out of 200 Fine Art and Design Shows across the country. Enjoy a free afternoon to view, shop, or browse the many artisan’s displays located along the boardwalk. Or perhaps bring a beach chair and enjoy the beach and get your feet wet! A ticket is also included to see the magnificent sand sculptures created by world-renowned international sculptors at Neptune’s International Sand Sculpting Championship.

A plated lunch is planned at Rockefeller’s Restaurant, located on Rudee’s Inlet, prior to time at the festival.
