Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Easter Fun, Summer Tourism Boom, and Weather Changes Ahead
Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, April 4.
We kick off with exciting news from city hall as we gear up for over 14 million tourists this year, according to WHRO reports. That means more live entertainment on Atlantic Avenue from May through Labor Day, with magicians, jugglers, and musicians lighting up the Oceanfront nightly. It boosts our local economy and keeps our streets buzzing, directly impacting jobs in hospitality.
Shifting to real estate, The Canopy mixed-use community just started pre-leasing two-bedroom apartments near the heart of town. With infinity pools, pickleball courts, and retail spots opening by January, its drawing young professionals and families seeking that coastal vibe.
On the job front, tourism growth promises around 10,000 seasonal openings, rounding up from recent projections, especially at beachfront spots like Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater.
Weather today brings very warm, humid air with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible near the Boardwalk, per the National Weather Service. That could dampen outdoor plans, so pack rain gear for evening walks on the beach. Expect a cold front tonight, cooling things down by tomorrow with clearer skies and highs in the low 40s.
New business note: Pups and Pints announced its closure last week, but Hunt Club Farm steps up with a massive Easter egg hunt this weekend, hiding over 40,000 eggs to honor late owner Randi Vogel. Families, head there for animal meets and all-day fun.
Crime report from the past day: A pedestrian crash on Norfolk Avenue near the Oceanfront injured a woman with non-life-threatening wounds; shes stable in hospital. Police are investigating—no other major incidents.
Schools buzz with Regent baseballs strong first-year wins and new speed cameras issuing fines in zones around Lynnhaven Middle. Cultural highlight: Reverend Horton Heat rocks tonight.
Feel-good story: Locals rallied at the 5/31 memorial, sharing stories of resilience that warm our hearts.
Upcoming: Stars, Stripes, and Spurs Military Weekend ends this month at Mount Trashmore.
