On Labor Day Weekend, the oceanfront will host an American Music Festival, featuring all the different types of music that fill our country from coast to coast. Residents of Virginia Beach KOA will be sure to find music that suits their tastes, as the agenda includes rock, jazz and country, as well as blues and R&B. The majestic Atlantic Ocean will provide the perfect background for this event, which is the largest outdoor concert on the East coast. Headline bands performing include O A R, Cheap Trick and Train, all groups with established popularity who collectively have sold nearly 300 million records. Food vendors and merchandise kiosks will also be available on the boardwalk. Come join the thousands who will attend this holiday extravaganza that says good-bye to summer.

Back in the Day

What is your favorite music decade? Do you love the doo-whop sound of 50s music or really dig the folk music of the 60s? On the other hand, maybe you prefer the rock of the 70s, 80s and 90s. On the weekend of August 10 through 12, campers at Virginia Beach KOA can dress up in the styles of the past and dance to the music of their favorite decade. On August 10 at 8 p.m. on the beachfront, Stayin’ Alive, the Bee Gees tribute band, will perform some of this group’s biggest hits. The Bee Gees, one of the most popular recording groups of the 60s and 70s, had hits that were phenomenally successful, such as “How Deep is Your Love,” "Stayin' Alive" and “Night Fever.” If you would like to eat out while on the boardwalk, one of our top recommendations is Dough Boy’s California Pizza, where you can get salads, sandwiches and pasta, in addition to amazing pizza. All kinds of great eateries are close to our park. Visit our website and book your spot today.
