The Boardwalk Weekend of the Neptune Festival 2010 in Virginia Beach is inviting the public. The admission is free. Yesterday the North American Sandsculpting Championship took place. Today one of the big events is the Grand Parade.
During the Grand Parade at the Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach, floats, costume characters, marching bands and military units parade on Atlantic Avenue. The floats are starting at 16th street and running North on Atlantic Avenue along the Oceanfront.
Officials said:”Parade will take place rain or shine.” But there should not be a problem anyhow, as the skies are blue and the sun is shining in Virginia Beach today, with temperatures of 90 degrees.
Over 275 artisans will line the boardwalk for the Neptune Art and Craft Show interspersed with a veritable smorgasbord of food vendors dishing out delectable delights guaranteed to please any palette.
