A SEAFARER'S BALL | NorfolkTowneAssembly

The Norfolk Towne Assembly (NTA) is happy to announce that we WILL be holding a ball on Saturday, June 11, 2022. The theme of this event is "A Seafarer's Ball" honoring the seagoing heritage of the Hampton Roads region.

This coincides with the weekend (June 10-12) that Norfolk holds their annual tribute to the maritime heritage of Hampton Roads, Harborfest. This festival is the largest, longest-running, free maritime festival in the nation. Enjoy three days of tall ships, the Parade of Sail, festival foods and beverages, live performances, and one of the largest fireworks displays on the east coast!

Those who come for the weekend can also enjoy "Nauticus," a maritime-themed science center and museum, also known as the National Maritime Center, located on the downtown waterfront in Norfolk. Nauticus is also the home of the battleship Wisconsin which can be toured. The second floor of Nauticus houses the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and the entrance to the battleship Wisconsin. On the third floor of Nauticus, guests can view a variety of science and maritime exhibits, including: aquaria.

We encourage those interested in attending our Ball to come to Norfolk, stay, and make a weekend of it with Nauticus, the Harborfest celebration, and "A Seafarer's Ball". Mark your calendars now and make plans to join us and celebrate Hampton Roads' and our nation's maritime heritage.
