Something in the Water
Get ready for some excitement! Pharrell's famous Something in the Water music festival is making its big return to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront this weekend. It's three days of jam-packed performances with big-name artists and local acts. We still don't know who is playing when, but the festival runs Friday through Sunday, and tickets for three-day general admission are still available.
If you're not attending SITW, there are other ways to participate in the festivities:
- All week long, you can get in the festival spirit with an event called "Something on the Menu." The Virginia Beach Restaurant Association says around 20 restaurants are participating.
- If you are looking for more local entertainment, alongside SITW, there will be another three-day festival called "Something Indie Water." Organizers say it's meant to provide opportunities for more local musicians at the Oceanfront. It is free and happening throughout the weekend at the family fun Xperience Theatre.
