Virginia Beach Pulse: Dome's Grand Opening, Election Referendum, and Weekend Events
Published 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, May 3rd, 2025.
It's an exciting weekend at the Oceanfront as final preparations wrap up for the grand opening of the Dome. The venue, situated on the same spot as the original Dome, will host Three Dog Night tomorrow night - a full-circle moment as they were also the final act to perform at the old Dome back in 1993. Tickets are still available for what many are calling a historic event. Local business owners like Dwayne Appleton of Java Surf Cafe are thrilled about the increased foot traffic, with the venue already booking events beyond concerts, including its first wedding reception.
Today is the final day for Virginia Beach residents to share feedback on the proposed referendum question for November's ballot. City Council will vote this Tuesday, May 6th, on whether to add the question about changing the method of city council elections from a "modified 7-3-1" system to a "10-1" system. If you want your voice heard, submit your input by 11:59 tonight.
In sports news, the U.S. Finals for cheer and dance teams takes place today at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Teams from across the country will compete in this prestigious event, which serves as the finale of the 2025 U.S. Finals series.
Weather-wise, we're looking at broken clouds with temperatures starting at 68 degrees and climbing to around 77 today - slightly cooler than yesterday's 82 degrees. If you're heading to outdoor events, like Beach Blanket Cinema or Live! On Atlantic performances scheduled for today, the weather should cooperate, though you might want a light jacket for evening activities.
Looking ahead, expect showers to clear up by tomorrow, with sunny and warmer conditions forecasted for early next week.
In city news, the Virginia Beach community continues to support local beach cleanups as we head into the summer season. These volunteer events have been growing in popularity as residents work together to ensure our shorelines remain pristine for both tourists and locals alike.
Real estate in Virginia Beach remains steady according to local market reports, with agents noting consistent interest in oceanfront properties as we enter the summer season.
For families seeking weekend activities, don't forget about the numerous events happening at the Oceanfront as part of the spring concert series, offering entertainment options for all ages.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
