The City of Virginia Beach led a community meeting to offer information, impacts and tools to help residents and visitors enjoy the 2025 Oceanfront Event Season, which includes major events attracting 10,000 people per day. Presented before a sub-committee of the Resort Advisory Commission and widely promoted to invite the general public, the meeting covered the first half of the 13-event season for 2025 from Shamrock Marathon Weekend through the Fourth of July Stars & Stripes Celebration. The next meeting on July 31 will provide logistical details for the remainder of the season. In case you missed it, the meeting was recorded for those unable to attend.
