Chincoteague Summer Vibe Festival

06/09/2026

LOCAL BUSINESSES, CAMPGROUNDS & RESTAURANTS — WE NEED YOU!

The 1st Annual Chincoteague Summer Vibe Festival is about more than just a great day in the park. It’s about bringing people back downtown, supporting local businesses, and creating an event that benefits the entire island.

When visitors come to the festival, they don’t just attend an event—they book campsites, reserve hotel rooms, eat at local restaurants, shop in our stores, and explore everything Chincoteague has to offer.

That’s why we’re inviting local campgrounds, restaurants, hotels, shops, and businesses to become sponsors and partners.

Your support helps us:
☀️ Bring more visitors downtown
☀️ Create family-friendly activities and live entertainment
☀️ Support the Island Theatre and local arts programs
☀️ Build an event we can grow year after year

We’re not interested in cold-calling businesses or pressuring anyone to participate. We’d much rather hear from people who believe in the mission and want to help make something special happen for our community.

If your business benefits from tourism, community events, and a thriving downtown, we’d love to have you involved.

📅 Saturday, July 11th
📍 Robert Reed Waterfront Park – Downtown Chincoteague Island
