and holiday celebrations. From Harborfest® and the

Virginia Arts Festival to Holidays in the City and the

bi-annual Virginia Wine Festival, it’s four seasons of

fun in Norfolk.

DINING AND NIGHTLIFELooking for a night out? When the sun goes down,

Norfolk comes alive. The city offers extraordinary

culinary experiences from local favorites to

affordable fine dining at one of many chef-owned

restaurants. Sample wines at the Mermaid Winery,

Virginia’s first urban winery, or head over to one of

our local breweries. Don’t forget Norfolk’s growing

coffeehouse scene; you might even catch an open

mic night! Whether meeting up with friends on

Granby Street, strolling down Colley Avenue in

Ghent, or watching the sunset in Ocean View,

Norfolk’s many neighborhoods offer a variety of

cafés, clubs and pubs to enjoy!

majestic tall ship, watch world-renowned artists

blow glass at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio,

stroll through 155 acres of azaleas, roses and

camellias at Norfolk Botanical Garden or relax at

the beach. If history is your thing, sign up for a boat

or land tour of the world’s largest Naval Base, stop

by the MacArthur Memorial, walk the Cannonball

Trail, explore the Hampton Roads Naval Museum or

discover the power of the sea at Nauticus or aboard

the Battleship Wisconsin.

the Elizabeth River, or take a few swings at one of

Wells Theatre, live music at the NorVa or a stylish

evening at the Virginia Opera or Virginia Symphony.
