HAMPTON ROADS, VA—A beloved local tradition, Sunset Thursdays has been a summer staple in Olde Towne Portsmouth for years, bringing neighbors together right on the waterfront for free, live music every single week all summer long. With a different band every week, the lineup rotates weekly and covers a wide range of genres, including jazz, blues, rock, R&B, and beach music, so there's a reason to come back again and again.
Enjoy Portsmouth’s FREE after-work summer concerts series sponsored by the Department of Parks and Recreation. Local entertainment and food vendors.
