Hampton Bay Days is one of eight signature events taking place during
Hampton’s 400th anniversary in 2010.
In 1982, Hampton Bay Days was created as a unique outlet to educate the
public on the importance of the Chesapeake Bay in the Hampton Roads
region, as well as the
rest of Virginia and Maryland. The goal of the festival is to provide an
entertaining atmosphere while ultimately serving a greater purpose,
highlighting aspects of the Bay and promoting its upkeep and
preservation.
