The 45-minute tour takes you dockside to the home of the Atlantic Fleet for an up-close look at aircraft carriers, destroyers and other U.S. Navy vessels protecting our nation everyday.

DININGYou’ve come to the right place for some of the city’s trendiest restaurants and

watering holes. Chelsea’s craft brewery, Smartmouth Brewing Company, is a must for craft beer enthusiasts. This 20-barrel brewhouse typically churns out 100 barrels of hoppy goodness a month and offers a guided tour of the facility and cozy tasting room. From the bite of their India Pale Ale to one of the few Saisons brewed in Virginia, you can get a true taste of our local flavor. Refuel at distinct and delicious neighborhood eateries like Tortilla West, Orapax and The Bakehouse at Chelsea. Continue your tour of tastes at the Birch Bar, Norfolk’s high-profile craft beer and artisanal cheese bar. Named one of the top five bars in America, Birch Bar is housed in a redeveloped industrial building and serves over 20 rotating drafts on tap and dozens more on their weekly bottle list.

ENTERTAINMENTWhile in the area, take time to explore Norfolk’s “home to the arts”, the

Hermitage Museum and Gardens. Formerly home to the Sloane family, the museum boasts a nationally recognized art collection spanning 5,000 years! The Hermitage also includes contemporary exhibition galleries, working artist studios and 12 acres of gardens and grounds along the peaceful waters of the Lafayette River. Catch a basketball game or headlining musical performance at the Ted Constant Convocation Center. If you’re looking for a cozier, café-style performance space, check out the Venue on 35th for weekly open mic events and local performances. Or tee off at Lambert’s Point Golf Club, a beautiful links-style, nine-hole golf course on the banks of the Elizabeth River.

HISTORYThe area’s unique history date’s back

hundreds of years and is full of interesting discoveries. Ocean View’s Willoughby Spit, an independent peninsula originally inhabited by The Willoughby Family, has been a favorite Norfolk marvel since it first appeared as a result of a mid-1600’s hurricane. Where there once had been only water now lies a serene strip of land created by Mother Nature. Past times at the beaches, neighborhoods and commercial districts of Ocean View are lovingly preserved and shared in collections of memorabilia, images and oral histories at the Ocean View Station Museum.

ENTERTAINMENTThere’s no better way to enjoy the

neighborhood than a day at the beach! This area is home to several city beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. The City of Norfolk maintains three beach parks including the Community Beach Park, Sarah Constant Beach Park and Ocean View Beach Park. Grab the family or your friends and head out for a relaxing afternoon of sunbathing and swimming! Enjoy fishing on the Ocean View Fishing Pier and if you’re hungry, grab a bite to eat at the pier’s onsite restaurant, known for its super fresh seafood. Or if you’d prefer to stay on land, schedule a round of golf at the Ocean View Golf Course located one block from the Chesapeake Bay and marina.

OCEAN VIEW & EAST BEACHN

orfolk’s relaxing beach communities of Ocean View and East Beach will leave you feeling as though you’re in a whole other world—one filled with fresh seafood, sand and seaside fun.

Norfolk’s thriving arts community will welcome you into its studios, galleries and up and down the streets of its Arts District and beyond. Throughout the city, almost everywhere you turn you’re bound to

stumble upon artwork—from classically beautiful statues to thought-provoking and abstract mixed-media installations. Downtown Norfolk and surrounding neighborhoods give proof to Norfolk’s flourishing arts scene and status as the cultural hub of southeastern Virginia.

While touring Norfolk, keep an eye out for purposefully placed public art pieces ranging in media, location, theme, scale and style. The Norfolk Public Art Program strategically focuses its efforts in locations with the most visible impact to be viewed and enjoyed by the maximum number of people. Be on the lookout along the waterfront, pedestrian walkways and sidewalks, parks, wall and even city garages. Some of the most impressive pieces include the large scale, white concrete formation “Ripples” by Athena Tacha, the Electroland “Metalmatisse” near MacArthur Square in downtown and Christopher Fennell’s “Skate Trees and Leaf Benches” at Northside Skate Park.

You don’t have to look very hard to find yet another example of the city’s flair for the arts. Popping up throughout town, you’ll find ornate,

thoughtfully crafted mermaid statues. Posing gracefully at street corners and storefronts, decorating banners and signs, and showing up in local art shops and galleries, the cultural icon of Norfolk has been a major artistic motif for over 15 years. The mermaids are all designed and decorated by locals, and many of them represent a theme related to their location and illustrate the value of public art in our community.

For maps of the artworks, background information and additional resources visit www.norfolkpublicart.org or pay a visit to the Selden Arcade and Art Gallery in downtown Norfolk.

Virginia ArtsFestival

The soul of a great arts festival is the exhilarating sense of discovery that greets the patron

at every performance. There is so much to discover and enjoy during

the 2015 Virginia Arts Festival, April 10 – May 25. The Festival strives to present the world’s greatest artists in music, dance, and theater, and the 19th season certainly lives up to this mission.

Star turns include two strikingly different divas at the top of their careers: reigning queen of opera Renée Fleming, whose popular style has earned her a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide, accompanied by award-winning pianist Olga Kern, and Audra McDonald, the Broadway star who has won more Tony Awards than anyone in history.

Other exciting performers include Rosanne Cash, the iconic singer-songwriter whose most recent album, The River & The Thread, won rave reviews from NPR and The New York Times, and Jackie Evancho, the young classical crossover singer who first gained stardom on America’s Got Talent at the age of 10. Pulitzer Prize and nine-time Grammy Award-winning jazz legend Wynton Marsalis will also perform with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in the historic Attucks Theater.

The array of artists and experiences in the 2015 season offer some rare and enticing opportunities for classical music fans. Conductor JoAnn Falletta reveals new beauty in works from past centuries with a brilliant performance of Bartók’s only opera, Bluebeard’s Castle, with towering glass sculptures

by famed artist Dale Chihuly, an astounding, intimate performance of Mahler’s most achingly beautiful songs in rarely-heard arrangements by Arnold Schoenberg, and a witty staging of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale featuring stunning violinist Tianwa Yang and NPR’s Fred Child as the narrator. Dance will be spectacularly represented in the Festival when the proud and passionate Ballet Hispanico ignites the stage with the fire and soul of Latin culture.

Theater buffs can sample one of the most celebrated comedy hits of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Major Tom—the story of a woman, her dog, and their parallel careers in dog shows and beauty pageants. Gabriel Portuondo will perform The Rime, a remarkable theatricalization of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.

The Festival’s most popular event among audiences from around the area and world, the Virginia International Tattoo, returns April 23-26 with an awe-inspiring spectacle of music and might, featuring performers from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States to honor our military families.Spring is a great time to come to Norfolk to attend Virginia Arts Festival performances and visit the many other wonderful attractions in the area.

For more information and tickets to Virginia Arts Festival performances, visit vafest.org or call 757-282-2822.
