Virginia Military Festival

Friday April 21-Sunday April 23, 2023

“Words cannot explain the Virginia International Tattoo other than to say it's the most amazing and inspiring gathering of military bands, drill teams, and performers from the U.S. service branches and from militaries around the world. It gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I see why it was chosen to be the best of American Bus Association's Top 100 Events in North America!"

Peter Pantuso, President/ CEO, American Bus Association
