Virginia’s own Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers will perform his first ever concert in Town Point Park on Saturday, June 9, 2012 during the 36th Annual Norfolk Harborfest® on the downtown Norfolk waterfront. The Concert is free and open to the public.
Norfolk Harborfest® will host OpSail 2012 Virginia™ from June 6-12, 2012 as part of the national commemoration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner.
