The Best Family-Friendly Events in Virginia

The Best Family-Friendly Events in Virginia

Virginia is a great destination for the family. Alongside the beaches on the east coast, the state packs a punch when it comes to family-friendly events.

  • 1. Chautauqua Festival

    This eight-day long arts' extravaganza includes all the family. Hot air balloons inaugurate the festival's opening, a spectacle the little ones will never forget. Arts and crafts workshops, clowns, and live music join an ever-swelling number of food merchants to make this the ideal Virginian family festival. It takes place in Wytheville and officially kicks off with a parade through downtown.

  • 2. Stars and Stripes Explosion

    Another of Virginia's most family-friendly happenings is the Stars and Stripes Explosion. Thousands of visitors wash up on the beach to immerse themselves in patriotism and traditional music, performed by the Symphony Orchestra and Chorale. After the sun sets, a firework display illuminates the sky once more, to cap off the "explosion." What's more, the fireworks and concerts are free to the public.

  • 3. Hampton Bay Days

    For a quarter of a century, the streets of heritage-packed Hampton are awash with families enjoying free music and a festive atmosphere. Three outdoor stages emit live music, with plenty of spin-off stages to keep the rhythm flowing throughout the duration of the festival. Children will be entertained and excited at the Kids' Play and Learn About the Bay Entertainment Area, and there's even a competition for your furry friend.

Music is at the heart of life in Virginia, and what better way to discover Virginian culture than with events that celebrate just that?

  • 1. American Music Festival

    Labor Day Weekend is marked with a festival of star-studded international musicians animating crowds with heartfelt performances over the course of three days. More than thirty bands enliven Virginia Beach at the largest outdoor music event on the East Coast and a celebration of Virginian heritage.

Pore over the treasures in the folk art bazaar and get involved in children's activities and games.

  • 3. Old Fiddlers Convention
