African American Music Month Celebration (Virginia Beach)
June 28, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Price: $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and children
The City of Virginia Beach Cultural Affairs Department, Virginia Beach History Museums, Teens With a Purpose, Mosaic Steel Orchestra and Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School Alumni and Friends Association, Inc. will celebrate African American Music Month with some globally rooted jazz and summertime steel drum vibes. At this year’s celebration, Mosaic Steel Orchestra will ignite a global summer-by-the-sea vibe with steel pan rhythms and lively tunes, followed by this year’s headlining performer, and Virginia Commission for the Arts artist, Plunky & Oneness.
Plunky brings his signature blend of Afrobeats and jazz to the Virginia Beach stage after returning from a trip studying and sharing music through the African continent. Collectively, performers from Plunky & Oneness have appeared on stages around the world with artists such as Ben Vereen, Patti LaBelle, Ray Charles and Frankie Beverly & Maze.
Doran Glass III, a Virginia Youth Poet Laureate ambassador with Teens With a Purpose, will serve as master of ceremonies for the event. Performance includes a brief intermission with refreshments.
Open to the public. Advance registration is encouraged at culture.virginiabeach.gov/events. Email [email protected] or call 757-385-5100 for questions about this event.
