Pharrell Williams’ Guide to Virginia Beach Includes a Favorite Book Store and Lots of Food
His career as a producer, singer and songwriter may have brought Pharrell Williams global fame, but his upbringing in Virginia continues to be a driving force in his life today.
More recently, in 2019, Pharrell founded the Something in the Water music, arts and culture festival in Virginia Beach where he celebrates his hometown each spring. He is also a partner with the city of Virginia Beach on a multimillion-dollar project at the former convention center to develop a year-round destination named Atlantic Park. Spanning retail, restaurants, apartments, a live entertainment venue and surf park, it’s expected to debut in 2025.
Your ideal long weekend in Virginia involves…Definitely family, friends, and food in large amounts. I’m always traveling for work and have experienced many different parts of the world, but coming back to Virginia is always so important to me and my family. The three things you love most about Virginia are… The people, the water, and the location combined create a special kind of energy. It’s almost medicinal to me. The people are wildly creative in a way I haven’t experienced anywhere else in the world. Then you have the water—it’s everywhere. The Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, rivers and waterways that make their way through the state. Location-wise, we are right in the middle of the East Coast.
