1. Virginia Is Hiding A Seriously Cool Museum That All The Aviation Fans Need To See (myfamilytravels.com) — Virginia Beach is home to the Military Aviation Museum in Pungo, where more than 70 vintage warbirds—many still flying—share space with historic WWII buildings, a private grass airfield, and even a free dinosaur park. The article details hangars, flight demos, ride experiences, and guided tours, then gives the exact Princess Anne Road address and practical tips so locals can plan a full, history-packed visit.
   

2. Blistering heat on the Oceanfront sand (wavy.com) — If you’re heading to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, be prepared for sand hot enough to burn your feet, with temperatures measured around 128 degrees and even higher on nearby surfaces. Lifesaving Service staff urge beachgoers to wear shoes until reaching wet sand, stay shaded, hydrate often, and use plenty of sunscreen to avoid burns and heat-related illness.
   

3. Farm Aid to Virginia Beach and Crop Protection Demand Higher (aginfo.net) — Farm Aid is bringing its all-day music and food festival to Virginia Beach for the first time on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, with tickets already on sale. Big names like Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews will headline while spotlighting family farmers and local food. The report also notes strong U.S. wheat exports and rising global demand for crop protection products.
   

4. Music and art therapy take center stage in new Hampton Roads health research (wtkr.com) — A new Sentara Health study is partnering with Virginia MOCA in Virginia Beach to measure how music and art therapy can ease anxiety and possibly reduce healthcare costs for adults. Inspired by a local family’s cancer journey, the project tracks patients before and after arts-based prescriptions, while a new Hampton Roads fund helps pediatric cancer patients pay for therapies insurance often won’t cover.
