Cruise days mean energy on the waterfront — and we’re celebrating with Cruise Norfolk Market Days, a lively pop-up market in downtown Norfolk just steps from the cruise terminal on our Port of Call Days, when visitors are here exploring our region.
Join us from 11 AM–2 PM as local vendors, musicians, and food trucks line the waterfront for a fun, family-friendly midday event. Whether you work downtown, live nearby, or are just looking for something different to do, this is the perfect excuse to step outside and enjoy the atmosphere.
✨ Shop local artisans & makers
🎵 Enjoy live music
🍴 Grab lunch from local food vendors
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bring the whole family
Free to attend and open to everyone — come enjoy the waterfront, support small businesses, and soak in the cruise-day buzz.
📅 Upcoming Dates:
• Wednesday, May 20
• Tuesday, July 7
See you downtown! 🚢✨
