The Patriotic Festival celebrates our Armed Forces for two days of concerts and military displays at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Being home to one of the largest concentrations of military installations in the United States, Hampton Roads is proud of its military heritage.
The festival opens on May 29, 2009 with a country twang in the air. Gary Allan will headline while the up and coming Zac Brown Band opens the night. Gary Allan has released seven studio albums with many hits including “Nothing On But The Radio,” and “Watching Airplanes.” The Zac Brown Band have just found mainstream success with their album “The Foundation,” which features the hits “Chicken Fried” and “Whatever It Is.”
