NORFOLK, Va. — It's a wrap of the second day of the Patriotic Festival in Downtown Norfolk.
Country music star Kane Brown performed Saturday night and on Sunday night, Morgan Wallen will take the stage for the evening concert.
Rain might have canceled outdoor events on Friday, but the weather certainly worked in favor of festivalgoers the next day.
"It's been a very nice afternoon. The weather's great, kids are having fun. We've seen some ships. We've met some very nice military personnel demonstrating their work," said Valerie Walker of Norfolk.
Some, like veteran Chuck Pender, stumbled upon the free sections of the festival while visiting Norfolk.
"I think it's inspiring, we find a lot of things here, especially for veterans, that can enhance their lives. It's just tremendous," he said.
Town Point Park didn't get too packed in the afternoon hours. People, both young and young at heart, had lots of space to enjoy some music, move around and even visit booths.
"We got a lot of free stuff. I bought some deep-fried Oreos. I gave one to a man sitting right next to me," said Cam'ren Johnson, a youngster from Chesapeake.
It's the Patriotic Festival's first time in the Mermaid City, after its departure from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
"Everybody's loving the food, enjoying their time here, the music," said Maricen Price of Cups VA/La Cantera.
Price and partners told 13NewsNow they're excited to be at the festival too.
They described the streams of customers during the day as, "on and off."
"We're just waiting for the concert to start and we're waiting for that big crowd to come in," said Price.
That's because for many, music is a big reason why they attended.
Organizers said it's also a special opportunity to host the event on Memorial Day weekend, as the nation takes time to remember the servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
