Town Center Art and Wine Festival
May 01, 2010
Town Center of Virginia Beach Fountain Plaza
12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Town Center Art and Wine Festival is a unique opportunity to enjoy visual and gastronomic arts in the same setting
While the late spring sunbathes Fountain Plaza, artists of all types will be displaying their creations throughout the Center. At the same time, international wine favorites sit side-by-side with the best of Virginia wineries in a sampling of new and classic vintages.
It is a wonderful opportunity to leisurely examine cutting-edge art while sampling the very latest in the vintner’s art.
The event will be held on Saturday, May 1, 2010 from 12:00 PM – 5 PM at the Virginia Beach Town Center Fountain Plaza.
The legend of Neptune says that this Roman god was King of the Sea. Carrying his trident, a three-pronged spear, Neptune would drive in his dolphin-pulled chariot over the waters,
calming the waters wherever he went. Since the beginning of the Neptune Festival, every year people from the Virginia Beach community have been chosen to play the part of King Neptune
and his Royal Court.
The king is chosen by the Neptune Festival committee from nominations
solicited from the general public. The selection process weighs criteria such
as demonstrated involvement and contribution to the quality of life in Virginia
Beach, active participation in the activities of community life and an understanding
of the spirit of the Neptune Festival.
Joining King Neptune are Tritons, men of the community, who are also selected by nomination.
The Royal Princesses are chosen in an open competition the spring of their junior year of high school.
Once chosen, the King and his Court become ambassadors for the City throughout
the year.
