Farm Aid

LOCATION

Farm Aid 2026 takes place on September 26, 2026 at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, VA. It's easily accessible to RV travelers via nearby I-64, I-264, and US-58. So, if you're coming in from Norfolk, Chesapeake, or the Outer Banks, the trip is straightforward. However, you should expect heavy traffic on the day of the festival, especially on Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road as they approach the venue. You should also know that the venue doesn't allow overnight RV parking, so some traffic on the way in and out is unavoidable on the day of the event. If you're planning to stay in the area for longer than the day of the festival, you'll have plenty to do. Popular local attractions include the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Virginia Aquarium. The nearby First Landing State Park is also a great destination if you're looking for a beautiful scenic drive.

RV Rental Tips for Farm Aid 2026

If you're planning an RV trip to attend Farm Aid 2026, booking your RV rental as early as possible is advised. Although the festival falls late enough to avoid the area's peak tourist season, it will still attract around 20,000 attendees. So, you'll need to make reservations months in advance to get the RV you want. Class C motorhomes are a popular choice in the area for ease of navigation on local roads and in campgrounds. However, traveling in a Class A motorhome is possible if you're bringing your family to the event and need the extra space. Whichever you choose, you'll want to ensure your RV has a working AC, as it's warm and humid in Virginia Beach most Septembers.
