VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Virginia Beach City Council on Tuesday night voted unanimously to approve an agreement that would allow city school buses to be used for transportation during the Something in the Water festival at the Oceanfront at the end of April.

SOMETHING IN THE WATER lineup announced: Lil Wayne, Kehlani, Lil Uzi Vert & more

The agreement states the city would pay drivers $350,000 to take festival-goers to and from the Oceanfront. The festival's promoter would then pay the money back to the city.

Festival organizers would also be responsible for cleaning and sanitizing the buses at the end of the event, according to the agreement.

The festival is coming back to the Oceanfront from April 28 to April 30. The inaugural Something in the Water festival was held in Virginia Beach in 2019.
