IMPORTANT UPDATE!
Due to the impact of Hurricane Erin and the expected major storm surge in Virginia Beach on Thursday evening, all preparations for the Virginia Beach Funk Fest Beach Party on the sand — including stage buildout — have been paused until the storm passes.
As a result, Friday, August 22 performances will be relocated to alternate venues.
With large crowds expected on Friday evening, two simultaneous shows will take place at 17th and 24th Street Parks, ensuring enough space is available for fans. Large screens will also be placed on the Boardwalk for overflow crowds to enjoy the show from the sand.
Saturday, August 23 performances will take place as planned on the beach, with crews beginning stage construction Friday morning.
