Virginia Beach 4th of July Traffic Alert | Virginia Beach News

Virginia Beach is bracing for a Fourth of July packed with crowds, traffic, and fireworks — here’s what you need to know to avoid chaos: The main Oceanfront event starts at 7 PM with music and fireworks at 9:30 PM, but get there early — traffic will be brutal and sidewalks will be jammed. Expect possible traffic diversions on I-264, including closed exits — and NO stopping on the interstate to watch fireworks. If Oceanfront’s too crowded, head to Mount Trashmore Park for a similar show starting at 5 PM, with $20 cash-only parking (lots may close once full). Residents in permit zones? Parking is restricted Thursday night through Monday morning — only residents and approved workers can park, or risk towing. And remember: illegal fireworks are banned — report them via the city’s portal or non-emergency line (don’t call 911 unless it’s an emergency).
