ABOUT
NEPTUNE FESTIVAL ROYAL COURT
The Neptune Legend
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, people from the Virginia Beach community have been chosen to play the part of King Neptune and his Royal Court.
King Neptune & 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 and active participation in the activities of
community life.
Once chosen, the King and his Court become ambassadors for the City throughout the year.
