Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Wine, Weather, and Weekend Fun - May 3 Edition

Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, May 3. We start with the weather, as overcast skies and northwest winds around 16 miles per hour greet us this morning at Oceana Naval Air Station, with temps in the low 60s this afternoon and a slight chance of rain before 3 pm. Expect mostly sunny breaks later, cooling to the mid 40s tonight, so bundle up for evening walks along the boardwalk. That light breeze means outdoor plans at the Oceanfront stay comfortable through midweek.Shifting to our community vibe, the Spring Town Point Virginia Wine Festival wrapped up yesterday in nearby Norfolk at Town Point Park, drawing crowds for local wines and live music along the Elizabeth River, reminding us how our regional events boost the fun right here. Today, catch the tail end of cultural buzz with Disney's The Lion King touring at Chrysler Hall nearby, perfect for family outings. Looking ahead, Ole 60s Smokestack Town Tour rocks The Dome by Rutter Mills at 400 20th Street on Friday, May 8, with The Jack Wharff Band opening. Steelpan fans, Virginia International PANFest heats up the 24th Street Oceanfront stage Friday and Saturday nights, headlined by First Citizens Supernovas Steel Orchestra.No major city hall updates today, but new business energy flows with the East Coast She-Crab Soup Classic prepping at the Oceanfront, signaling tastier shores ahead. Job market holds steady with about 5,000 openings in hospitality and tech around Town Center, while real estate sees median home prices near 450,000 dollars, up 3 percent from last month per local listings.Crime stays low key in the past 24 hours, with police reporting a single arrest for minor theft near Lynnhaven Mall and no public safety alerts, keeping our neighborhoods secure.Shoutout to Kellam High Schools recent robotics win at the state championships, sparking pride in our kids achievements. And for a feel-good lift, Third Act groups Cycle Hope ride on May 9 at Ashland Farmers Market supports the East Coast Greenway, rallying us over 60 for climate action close to home.Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe.
