Hampton Roads Lights Up for 250th | Virginia Beach News

Hampton Roads is lighting up the Fourth of July with record-breaking fireworks budgets this year, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with dazzling displays across the region. Virginia Beach splashes down $200K for its Oceanfront show and $600K total for 18 shows through Labor Day. Other cities are also stepping up: Chesapeake ($32,500), Suffolk ($51,500), Newport News ($80K, up from $60K), Hampton ($50K, more than their pirate festival), Yorktown ($82,565, nearly double last year with nautical effects), and Colonial Williamsburg preparing its most ambitious, theater-style show ever — all designed to make the sky sing with patriotism.
