USO Experience

Join us for USO Experience Virginia Beach 2026, happening April 24–26!

This three-day event brings together engaging social and educational activities designed to connect military service members with the local civilian community. This year, we’re proudly celebrating the 250th Birthdays of the United States and the U.S. Navy - honoring the legacy of service and unity that has shaped our nation.

USO Experience VB 2026 offers a unique opportunity to honor and interact with those who serve, while gaining insight into their lives beyond the uniform. Come see how our service members are more than brave individuals protecting our freedom - they’re neighbors, leaders, and vital members of our shared community.
