VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Additional small performing art pop-ups are coming to Virginia Beach as part of the new series, #VBArts on Tour.

The street-performer style ‘tour’ puts artists in neighborhoods, community markets, parks, and outside of key venues.

Organizers say this is a way to help the community reengage with live performances, support their favorite local artists, and bring small-scale, convenient concerts to all corners of the city.

So far, the tour has brought music to the Virginia Beach Town Center outside of the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts and Zeiders American Dream Theater. The performances are free and open to the public.
