The ViBe Creative District in Virginia Beach continues to blossom, so we have taken it upon ourselves to create a guide to the district's murals, along with a handy map. 

Looking for your next great family activity? The ViBe Creative District is a thriving area in Virginia Beach—the perfect place to spend the day finding all the colorful murals, while surrounded by art, culture, and a vibrant atmosphere. 

Over 150 artists have partnered with the City of Virginia Beach to host several nonprofit events, which ultimately led to more than 100 murals being placed in various locations, from 16th to 24th Street! 

Ten local businesses, including Wareings Gym, display some of the most eye-catching murals, but you will have to visit the businesses in order to see them. As you make your way around the district, some of the murals are out in the open on display, but others require some digging. 

The ViBe Creative District murals are on display 24/7 for free! Make sure to bring your camera because you will want to snap photos of all of them! Instagram paradise, amirite?

Here's what to expect:

While you are participating in your scavenger hunt for murals, make sure to stop by any of the local businesses in the area to grab a cup of coffee, delicious bite of food to eat, and some frozen yogurt from Lolly's Creamery!

Concerned local business owners and individuals hope that you visit the revitalized section of the Oceanfront to bring in business, bring the community together, encourage creative industries, and discover what the area has to offer. Renewing the area now sets the ViBe Creative District apart from the rest of the Oceanfront—see their full mission here!

Now, take a walk around the ViBe Creative District and let us know what you find!
