Strawberry Festival    

If you're looking for something fun to do and enjoy some healthy activity the Virginia Beach Strawberry Festival is a great place to visit this weekend. The central theme is everything "strawberries" but there's so much more to see and do, too! This annual event features music, food and activities for everyone. Located in the heart of "Pungo", the festival is at the intersection of Princess Anne and Indian River Roads. Parking is offered around the intersection of these two roads and usually cost $5/per vehicle.

 

Cullipher Farm

The absolutely best, fresh and organic strawberries anywhere in Virginia Beach. They're located just a short distance from the festival, down Princess Anne Road less than 100 yards past West Neck Road. You can pick your own or buy pre-picked strawberries. They also have a host of fresh vegetables to choose from including a fresh selection of Georgia Peaches, red potatoes, peppers, onions and more. Tell 'em Pat sent you!

Eagles Nest is the featured neighborhood for this year's Spring Homearama. Located at the corner of West Neck and Indian River Roads, these beautiful homes feature some great ideas, whether you're remodeling or buying a home.
