About the Festival
FEATURING RENOWNED SURF Artists ALL Along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk
The Virginia Beach Surf Art Expo has evolved over the years as a very unique surf art show with great sales for artists who return year after year. Our purpose is to promote the art of surfing and the beach lifestyle as an art form. The culture of surfing and the wonder of the ocean have stimulated surfers and surf artists for many years to be their best at what they do. The Virginia Beach Surf Art Expo embraces the art of surfing in every form, whether it’s observing the sport of surfing, or featuring beach scenes, seascapes, and ocean life on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
The Virginia Beach Surf Art Expo is the place to be Memorial Day Weekend in Va. Beach! Come join us for some great surf art and wave riding bliss!
