Neptune 2012 SAVE THE DATE: September 28, 29 & 30, 2012
The Neptune Festival Art & Craft Show is part of a citywide festival at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. The Art & Craft Show portion is produced by The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art and showcases 250 artists and crafters. Our section of the festival (18th-29th Streets) does not allow commercial or imported products. In all cases, the spirit of our guidelines intends that the work depend heavily on the handmade aspect of art and craft. If you are a retail/wholesale vendor you may apply for the commercial section of the festival by contacting the Neptune Festival headquarters directly at 757-498-0215.
Visit the City of Virginia Beach's CVB website to learn more about Virginia Beach attractions and hospitality.
