General Admission is FREE
For 13 years the Virginia Beach Funk Fest Beach Party has brought the “funk” to the oceanfront for two days of electrifying music, great food, and unique vendors.
Music is the heart and soul of the festival, to be held on the beach at 24th Street Friday- Saturday, August 25-26. This festival is rain or shine.
This popular music genre draws influence from R&B, jazz, gospel, and blues. Funk artists like James Brown and George Clinton (the leader of Parliament-Funkadelic) inspired many musicians and helped spawn other genres like 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, we offer a ticketed Preferred Viewing section.
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.
Every patron must have a ticket.
This year’s festival will be held on a different site on the beach at 24th Street. New Virginia Beach event guidelines designed to provide a safe festival-going experience include limited entry gates, a clear boardwalk and adjacent areas for use as emergency exits, and limited crowd capacity.

Jumping fish, musical crabs, and jolly elves dance in lights against the backdrop of the moonlit Atlantic Ocean.

Since 2001, the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation has supported programs and events that focus on alleviating food insecurity in the towns and cities where they operate through the donation of product or Food Lion gift Cards. On Sunday, December 10, Food Lion Feeds will collect donations of non-perishable food and money with proceeds benefiting Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore Food Banks. The suggested donation is a minimum of 5 non-perishable food items or $10. Tickets to BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion are required for entry.

The holiday tradition returns to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront with over 25 new light displays, two additional blocks of lights, and a new 600 ft. LED tunnel, the largest and longest curved LED light tunnel in the U.S.
One of this year’s new displays was created from a drawing by Virginia Beach elementary school student, Kylie Zhu. The Old Donation School student’s drawing titled “Melting Snowman” was chosen from over 50 submissions following a contest open to all participating Virginia Beach schools last Spring and was produced by local artist and executive, Andy Vakos into a 17-foot-high by 14-foot-wide display. The “Melting Snowman” will be located in front of Oceanfront Inn at 29th Street.
Jumping fish, musical crabs, and jolly elves dance in lights against the backdrop of the moonlit Atlantic Ocean. Highlighted by a Surfing Santa, color-changing archways, light fixtures that pay tribute to the region’s Armed Forces community, and a 40-foot dancing-light Christmas tree, the 2023 BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion, offers wondrous fun for the entire family.

The 2023 BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion, will again utilize timed entry to minimize wait times. Guests must purchase tickets in advance for a specific day and time, available at beacheventsvb.com.

Enjoy a special holiday treat as you navigate the lights. Fresh popped popcorn, kettle corn, homemade cookies, hot apple cider, and hot chocolate will be available. Orders will be taken and delivered along the route. Credit/Debit sales only

The Movement has been winning the hearts and minds of alternative reggae fans since their inception in Columbia, SC in 2003. Drawing inspiration from Sublime, 311, Slightly Stoopid, and John Brown’s Body, they’ve made a name for themselves as reggae shapeshifters with a foundation of heavy drum and bass. Today, the band consists of founding member, lead vocalist, and guitarist Joshua Swain; bassist Jason Schmidt; drummer Gary Jackson; and keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Matt Goodwin. Their seventh studio album, Ways Of The World (2019) debuted at #1 in the Billboard Reggae Chart and remained in the Billboard Reggae Top 10 for more than 40 consecutive weeks. The band’s eighth studio album, Always With Me, was released July 29, 2022 on the band’s R4RE Records imprint. It explores new musical territory while staying true to their champion sound. Featuring collaborations from their influencers-turned-peers, Slightly Stoopid, Iration, and Clinton Fearon, and contemporaries HIRIE and Soom T, for The Movement, the only path is forward, pushing the boundaries and the future of reggae.
Fronted by David Wimbish, The Collection hails from North Carolina. Impressively, the band logged thousands of miles on the road, generated millions of streams, and earned praise from American Songwriter, Glide, Parade, and more all before signing to Nettwerk. With three full-length releases, three Eps, and a number of singles in their repertoire, the band’s extensive catalog is complimented by their robust and raucous live show that has built a devout fanbase. The Collection has toured with The Oh Hellos, RIPE, Tall Heights, and Nettwerk’s own Sammy Rae & The Friends.
The Ries Brothers (pronounced “Rees”), a duo from St. Petersburg, FL, blend rock, blues, jam, funk, and reggae into a soulful-sophisticated sound. Older brother Charlie (27) sings lead vocals while simultaneously playing drums and keyboard bass, giving the band its unique and full sound. Younger brother Kevin Jordan (24) completes the band’s “sonic creativity” on guitar, ukulele, and melodica and provides background vocals. The band started playing the Florida bar circuit as young teenagers where they were discovered by the band Chicago and taken out on two regional tours, prompting them to leave school and focus on music full time.
