Events this weekend in Norfolk this weekend 🔥

This weekend in Norfolk has that very specific January chaos: everyone’s half in hibernation mode, half absolutely desperate to get out of the house. The group chats are popping off, 5,625 people are already “interested” in something, and suddenly you’re trying to decide between buying weird art, planting fruit trees, or screaming at a wrestling ring before the Super Bowl even kicks off.

If you want low-cost, low-effort fun, start with the Love Spell Oddities Market. It’s free, it’s quirky, and it’s basically a magnet for people who collect crystals, vintage curios, and niche art prints they definitely don’t have space for. This is the one you say yes to if you want to wander, people-watch, and accidentally come home with something haunted-looking in the best way.

For the “new year, new yard” crowd, the NEW DATE! Jam'n Jamz: Fruit and Nut Tree Giveaway is that hyper-local, secretly wholesome thing you’ll brag about later. You show up, you leave with something you can plant, and you feel like you actually contributed to Norfolk instead of just scrolling about it. Very neighborhood, very Sunday-afternoon energy.

On the bigger-night-out side, Selden Market’s Grand Re-Opening is where downtown wakes back up. Think: local vendors, that post-holiday “we survived” vibe, and the perfect excuse to grab coffee, poke around the shops, and pretend you’re the kind of person who always supports small business (even if you only do it twice a year). If you’re chasing louder vibes, Last Fair Deal at The Annex with LAVA Presents is your live-music play—small venue, real fans, no one there by accident. And if you’re the type who lives for spectacle, VCW kicking off 2026 in Norfolk is pure over-the-top fun: big reactions, big storylines, and a crowd that’s absolutely in on the joke.

Then there’s **SUPER BOWL SUNDAY**, the unofficial national holiday. This weekend in Norfolk, you’ve basically got two lanes: post up at someone’s house and argue over the halftime show, or lean into the energy at local spots around town. Chrysler Hall and Chartway Arena at the Ted Constant Convocation Center keep pulling the big-ticket crowds, while Pinot's Palette Norfolk is there for the people who want to drink wine, paint badly, and pretend football doesn’t exist.

Here’s how to play it:
- Love Spell Oddities Market (FREE) – For artsy, witch-adjacent browsing and prime people-watching.
- NEW DATE! Jam'n Jamz: Fruit and Nut Tree Giveaway – For gardeners, future gardeners, and anyone who likes free things that grow.
- Selden Market Grand Re-Opening – For downtown strolling, local shopping, and running into everyone you kinda know.
- Last Fair Deal at The Annex **LAVA Presents** – For live music fans who prefer tight rooms and real guitars over playlists.
- VCW kicks off 2026 in Norfolk! – For wrestling lovers and anyone who enjoys theatrical chaos.
- **SUPER BOWL SUNDAY** – For big-TV, snack-heavy, jersey-wearing energy all over the city.

If you’re trying to actually do things to do this weekend in Norfolk instead of just saving them on your phone, this is the line-up you start with—and then let the group chat decide how rowdy it gets.
