Shannon Calley/Calley Coastal Jewelry and Art, Carla Fuller/Gypsy Soul Boutique, Marisa Kuntz/The Bohemery, Ashley Smith and Teresa Hartman/YardArt will be waiting to see you in the morning. Please stop by and say hello.
After visiting the Old Beach Markets, wander down to the 17th Street Marketplace. See OBAM favorites like Shannon Calley and Carla Fuller after OBAM closes.
Another fun stop would be The VB Flea – behind Three Ships Coffee on 19th Street just east of the Old Beach Markets.
Lots of good reasons to come to Old Beach tomorrow.
And next week –
19th Street will have a different look on Saturday, October 28th. The Anthem Wicked 10K begins at 8:00 a.m. going east on 19th. A costume contest is part of this event so it’s usually good for some laughs.
No OBAM – no EBLAST so our next note will be on November 17th. Until then….

Here’s an interesting note from our friends at MOCA:
ARTS MAKE A MAJOR ECONOMIC IMPACT IN VIRGINIA BEACH
Did you know that last year, the arts generated $87.7 million in Virginia Beach alone?
This spending supported 2,875 jobs, generated $52.5 million in income to local residents and returned about $7 million to local and state governments in the form of tax revenues.
This data was recently shared in the Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study conducted by Americans for the Arts and supported by The Ruth Lilly Fund of Americans for the Arts.

The Art of Burning Man at The Hermitage Museum and Gardens closes tomorrow night. Tickets are require. $50 until 8:00 p.m. today. $75 at the gate.
Here’s the thing about Burning Man – it really burns.

Dog Day at Old Beach Art Markets
Feeling like it’s all going to the dogs?
Well, that’s because it is!
Tomorrow is Dog Day at Old Beach Markets
Dogs are always welcome at Old Beach but especially tomorrow. Don’t come alone – bring your best friend for treats and products dedicated to them. For instance, look at the 100% untreated cotton macrame rope chew toys for the dogs in your life – available at The Bohemery and the lovely pendant – created by Keli At The Water’s Edge – for you or your sweetie.
Best of all, the pendant could be yours for free. Stop by At The Water’s Edge to enter the drawing and to snag a treat for your dog. Drawing is at 11:30 and you don’t have to be present to win.
There’s a costume contest and your pup could win – just register at the Old Beach Market tent and have a picture taken at It all started with a fig. The winner will be chosen by a poll of Old Beach customers.

There is something for everyone!
There is something for everyone at the Virginia Beach Art Market.
Did you see the lovely article by Lorraine Eaton in the Wednesday Virginian Pilot on Old Beach Farmer’s Market? We got a mention along with Old Beach Green Market even if it wasn’t by name:
This bustling Oceanfront market is more of a marketplace. Each Saturday, a portion of 19th Street is cordoned off and mostly nonfood vendors sell everything from handmade soaps to etched glassware to photographs. This past Saturday, there was even a knife sharpener and a boutique clothing truck.
Put this on your calendar, too. The Hermitage Museum and Gardens and their spectacular The Art of Burning Man Exhibition. Everything’s aglow on Thursday nights until October 12.

THIS WEEK’S MARKET
A weekend to celebrate – how lucky we are to have The 4th of July to celebrate. As John Adams predicted, Independence Day is warmly greeted from coast to coast with All American Fervor, Fireworks and Parades. He didn’t guess hot dogs and hamburgers but who could have?

Old Beach Green Market and Old Beach Farmer’s Market are looking good this week, too.
Stars & Stripes Explosion on July 4th is worth checking out. The Quantico Marine Corps Band‘s Concert Band and Rock Band will be at the main 24th Street beach stage on the 4th as part of Beach Street USA
