America’s largest, longest-running, free maritime festival, the iconic Norfolk Harborfest® enters its 50th year in 2026. For three memorable days along the Downtown Norfolk Waterfront June 19-21, Harborfest celebrates all of the elements that make Norfolk & Hampton Roads a historic maritime & Naval community. On both land and sea, thrilling activities and live music take center stage at Harborfest, including the annual Parade of Sail featuring international tall ships, one of the largest fireworks shows on the East Coast, interactive family games and activities, Navy exhibits and demonstrations, artisan foods and beverages, national and regional live entertainment, and much more. Mark your calendars for Friday-Sunday, June 19-21, 2026 for one of Hampton Roads’ biggest summertime events!
Additionally, from June 19 – 23, 2026, Norfolk will take center stage for a convergence of monumental events – Juneteenth Norfolk Celebration, Sail250® Virginia, and the 50th Annual Norfolk Harborfest – all unfolding across five unforgettable days along the downtown Norfolk Waterfront. This historic alignment marks the first time that these significant celebrations will share the same stage, creating a unique moment of reflection, unity, and celebration for our city, the Commonwealth, and our nation. The presence of Juneteenth during this landmark weekend adds depth, meaning, and perspective to the large commemorations happening across the waterfront.
