New ‘Parks After Dark’ Program to Launch in Virginia Beach for the Summer
June 6, 2023
The City of Virginia Beach and Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation has announced a new free event series at Williams Farm Park this summer.
Parks After Dark will begin on June 8 and run to Aug. 26 featuring live music, movies, lawn games, food trucks, and more. The new initiative was created to help establish a safe space for fun and family-friendly activities during evening hours when there are often fewer activities available for teens.
“Parks After Dark hits three things that every parent looks for in a summer activity—it’s free, fun and out of the house!” said Michael Kirschman, director of Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation. “This is a program created for the local community, by the local community, too.”
Parks After Dark schedule:
Week 1: June 8-10 – Carnival theme (Live music from Mosaic Steel Drum Orchestra on June 8.)
Week 2: June 15-17 – Family Fun theme
Week 3: No events June 22-24
