Yes, SOMETHING IN THE WATER is excited to offer a safe and comfortable pre-paid, park & ride, shuttle service from the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater at Virginia Beach to the festival entrance. Shuttles begin running each day at 12PM and run continuously all day. The last shuttle leaves the festival site one hour after the music ends each night.

Shuttle Passes available here

The amphitheater is located at 3550 Cellar Door Way, Virginia Beach, VA 23456.

The shuttles will be picking up at Veterans Home Loan Amphitheater in Virginia Beach and heading to the festival site. The shuttles will drop off at the Virginia Legends Walk located at 13th Street and Atlantic Avenue. Once you exit the shuttle, you will be inside the festival footprint.

Shuttles start at $50 plus fees per person and are valid for all 3 days. This pass is per individual person, not per vehicle. For example, if you park at the Amphitheatre and have 3 people in your car, you will need 3 shuttle passes (one for each person).

All riders will need their shuttle wristband and festival pass. Festival passes will be shipped in advance to the purchaser’s address. The shuttle passes will be digital tickets delivered to the purchaser’s email. This digital pass will be scanned onsite at the Amphitheatre and traded for a shuttle wristband. You will have 2 wristbands for the weekend: your festival wristband and your shuttle wristband.

Any questions or inquiries should be directed to contact@100xhospitality.com.
