📍Riverwalk Landing
Grab a lawn chair, slip off your shoes, and enjoy an evening of music by the York River at Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series! BJ Griffin, a Virginia Beach–based singer and electric cellist, brings a high-energy blend of pop, soul, and funk to the stage—often compared to a “young Stevie Wonder.” A standout contestant on Season 18 of America’s Got Talent, Griffin leads BJ Griffin and the Galaxy Groove and has shared the stage with legendary artists like Lionel Richie and Lauryn Hill.
At Yorktown’s Sounds of Summer Concert Series, warm sunsets, live music, and laid-back waterfront vibes set the tone for a perfect evening.
Every Thursday night, the York River comes alive with a new sound—from country and beach music to jazz, R&B, and more. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, slip off your shoes, and enjoy the breeze while food trucks serve up tasty bites and summer rhythms fill the air.
Arrive early to enjoy dinner or dessert from nearby waterfront favorites like Water Street Grille, Carrot Tree, or Ben & Jerry’s, then relax and settle in for a night of great music, good company, and memories made under the stars.
Guests are welcome to bring blankets, chairs, and small coolers. Tables, umbrellas, and tents are not permitted. A dance floor, friendly corn hole games, and rotating food trucks with to-go meals will be available.
Free parking is offered at designated public lots throughout town, including York Hall, York–Poquoson Courthouse, and the County Administration Building. The complimentary, ADA-accessible Yorktown Trolley runs from 5 to 9:30 p.m. during each concert, with a modified route that includes select stops on the outskirts of town.
