Enjoying a superb concert outdoors is always a treat for the senses. Thanks to the nTelos Wireless Pavilion, it is an experience that you can enjoy on regular basis. This 6,500 capacity outdoor venue is expansive enough to allow you to stretch out but also intimate enough to allow you to get lost in the music being created on stage. The entertainment venue has hosted an impressive roster of performers that include Tony Bennett, Vince Gill, BB King, Tom Petty and Anita Baker. Performances are always being added, so check the website regularly to stay informed of upcoming shows.

The Tidewater Yacht Marina in Portsmouth is a classy midpoint for travelers on the Intracoastal Waterway between New York and Florida who are navigating the waters on their boat or yacht. The venue features a large party deck and showers, restrooms and other amenities that will make every seafarer who passes through quite happy.

Travel back to a time when the only mode of mass transportation was the railroad. A slice of that history is still very much alive in Portsmouth with the Pokey Smokey. Efforts to raise funds to complete the repair of an impressive scale replica of this 19th century steam locomotive are underway. For 41 years, the Pokey Smokey traveled through Portsmouth City Park and offered the opportunity for visitors to ride through and see the area from a truly unique perspective. Soon, that tradition will be continued again. Until then, history buffs and train enthusiasts can still flock to see the Pokey Smokey for a closer look and for many excellent photo opportunities.

Fans of history will not want to miss the opportunity to visit the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum in Portsmouth. This is much more than a history lesson–this impressive facility houses an incredible collection of military artifacts, pictures, weapons and many historic ships including the CSS VIRGINIA (EX-MERRIMAC) as well as the world's first aircraft carrier, the LANGLEY.
