Monsters on the Beach
On May 17 to 19, the oceanfront will be filled with high-octane excitement as big trucks race over sand dunes at Monsters on the Beach. Bleachers will be set up on the boardwalk for spectators who come from miles around to watch the loud, fast competitions. Adding to the fun, the shows include a performance from Megasaurus – a 30-foot tall robotic dinosaur.
Ticket prices for the races range from $20 to $50. The $20 tickets are available with advance purchase.
Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, noon and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The location is the beachfront between 1st and 10thStreets.
Strawberry Jamboree

Admission is free. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The address is 3640 Dam Neck Road.
