Something in the Water is back, April 28-30, 2023!
Virginia Beach is a buzz year-round with events, festivals and activities. However, spring time is when the coastal city truly heats up. Throughout Virginia Beach, from the Oceanfront to inland, you can find happenings for every interest. The newest event to hit Virginia Beach is Something in the Water, a weekend music and entertainment festival.
About Something in the Water
Something in the Water is the brainchild of rapper, song writer and producer Pharrell Williams. In addition to his musical accolades, Williams is also a Virginia Beach native who wanted to bring something exciting to his city. When Williams announced the Something in the Water music festival, the event quickly garnered both local and national attention.
In a statement, Williams said, “Virginia needs this right now and the world will see what we Virginians have known all along: there really is Something in the Water.”

Kite fliers and spectators of all ages experience a visual feast at the Atlantic Coast Kite Festival. This popular event features a variety of activities appropriate for all ages and all levels of kite aficionados.

Participants must be able to fly their kites consecutively in the air for 5 minutes at a height of 100 feet. Kites will be judged on Flight (ability to fly for 5 minutes), Structural Design, Craftsmanship, and Visual Appeal. There will be three competitive divisions: Master, Novice, and Youth (ages 7-14). Trophies will be awarded for all divisions.
The Best Kite Contest is free to enter, and takes place each day.
