Williams created the event to not only unite and empower the community but also celebrate diversity and showcase the magic of Virginia Beach. Musicians, students, artists, activists and more will converge on Virginia Beach to activate and amplify, collaborate, and co-author, shift and shape the future. Launched in 2019 during College Beach Weekend, the cultural experience of SITW is grateful to bring the festival back to the beach.
In 2023, SITW festival-goers can get a taste of the magic of the Virginia Beach community, while local residents can experience more of the festival. SITW is collaborating closely with the City of Virginia Beach and local partners to ensure that the festival expands upon its legacy of community collaboration and goodwill. Festival goers and non-ticket holders will be able to attend free community activations, programming and more available to the public put on with the help of the festival sponsors.
Pop Up Church will be returning this year, line up to be announced soon.
