Monsters on the Beach

Event Date: May 7 2010 - May 9 2010 Location: On the boardwalk between
4th and 8th Streets
Monsters on the Beach brings thrills and chills to the Virginia Beach oceanfront as Monster Trucks like Superman, Monster Mutt, and Grave Digger battle for ultimate sand domination!
This family-targeted event is loud, fast, and exciting. A course is built right on the beach at 6th Street, with bleachers overlooking from the boardwalk. Sand dunes and junk cars combine to make the race course fast and fun for drivers and spectators alike. This is a ticketed event, with prices designed to fit the family budget.
The "Monster Experience" is a VIP component that allows a limited number of guests to enter the track for a meet-and-greet with drivers. These patrons receive a Monsters on the Beach t-shirt and "race credentials," and sit in a special reserved section of bleachers located mid-course. The Monster Experience is a higher-priced ticket option that usually sells out weeks before the event.
Local truck owners enter the Tough Truck Competition and the Truck Show and Shine. These events are designed to accommodate spectators who want to get in on the action! At the Tough Truck Competition, drivers tackle the same track used by the big monster trucks. Tough Truck races are held in-between the regular monster truck heats, with trophies and cash prizes awarded. At the Truck Show and Shine, locals enter their trucks to be judged and to win trophies and the honor of displaying their vehicles on the last day. Monster truck rides, offered for a nominal fee, are a big hit with the young and the young-at-heart! A smaller, less-threatening course is built on the beach at 4th Street, and rides are offered continually throughout the weekend, even at night!

FunkFest

Event Date: Aug 27 2010 - Aug 28 2010 Location: 24th Street Park A new spin on an existing festival, FunkFest celebrates the music generated over the years by such influential legends such as James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, George Clinton, and The Ohio Players.
Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid-to late-1960's when African-American musicians blended soul music, soulful jazz, and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music. Funk brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground. Funk music was a major influence on the development of 1970's disco music, and has even impacted house music and hip-hop.
FunkFest features bands in free concerts on the 24th Street Stage. Food, merchandise, and dance contests all contribute to a festive, "funky" vibe in the park!
