Northern Neck Beach Music Festival
6th Annual Northern Neck Beach Music Festival is coming September 14, 2024!
Performing in 2024:
- The Feature Attraction Band
- Band of Oz
- Motown Butta
I rounded the corner onto Washington Avenue and saw all the dancing happy people in the specially constructed sand dance floor in front of town stage, my jaw dropped! The place was hoppin' and I was instantly put into a happy mood hearing the sounds of the Carolina-style tunes coming from the live band stage.
I could smell the great food being cooked on the nearby food trucks and couldn't wait to dig in. This event was a rousing success. Trust me, you won't want to miss the next one!
For future events, the organizers planned on having merchandise vendors in addition to the food vendors.
