Town Point Park
A grassy park on the Elizabeth River in the city centre, the main venue for Norfolk's festivals and concerts, with ships passing on the river.
Town Point Park covers about 7 acres between Nauticus and Waterside. Its riverside promenade offers wide views across the water to Portsmouth and passing warships. Dozens of festivals take place here each year, including the spring NATO Festival (International Azalea Festival), a summer wine festival and Independence Day fireworks. The park also has the 'Voice of Norfolk' sculpture honoring the U.S. Navy and a memorial to fallen sailors. It is free to enter and connected to the downtown sights by walking paths.
