Norfolk is a city that celebrates special events and their contributions to the vibrancy, cultural richness and economic vitality of our community. Norfolk values the diverse array of events hosted annually and encourages new events that will educate, entertain and support healthy lifestyles in our communities.

Enhance tourism.
Provide an economic benefit to local businesses.
Promote cultural diversity.
