Girl, Come Outside!

Okay, so listen… I’m probably what is affectionately known as an ‘auntie’.. and I’m not even going to pretend I know every artist performing at Wave Fest. I know a few songs, I’ve heard some of the names, and honestly… I’m willing to go give it a listen and see what the younger generation is talking about! 😂🎶

The lineup includes Key Glock, BossMan Dlow, KenTheMan, YK Niece, Chxrry, YSN Capo, Trim, Zyaa, 757 & Friends, and Amilly Ent. So even if you don’t know everybody on the lineup either, come discover some new music with us! 🎶🌊

Let’s meet at Guads for a laid-back pregame before we head over to Wave Fest at Portsmouth Pavilion together. We’ll grab some food, have a drink, chat, take some pictures, meet some new people, and get into the festival spirit before the show.

📍 Pregame: Guads
🌊 Festival: Portsmouth Pavilion

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW:

• Your Wave Fest ticket is not included with this event. You’ll need to purchase your festival ticket separately.
• Get your Wave Fest ticket here:
https://www.wavefestva.com/
• I’ll be in the lawn section. Purchase the ticket that works best for you.
• Coming alone? Even better. Come meet us and enjoy the experience together.
• And if you’re like me and only know a handful of songs… 😂 come anyway!

Wave Fest is all-ages, and the festival runs from 1:30 PM until the event concludes. (WAVE Fest VA)

Step outside, hear some new music, enjoy the atmosphere, and see what Wave Fest is giving! 😂🌊

Grab your festival ticket, meet us at Guads, and let’s pregame before we hit Wave Fest!

Okay ladies, this one is personal!

I went to Cousinz Fest last year and honestly had a pretty good time. I got to see Jeezy, T-Pain, and Lil’ Kim, among others, so when I saw it was coming back to Norfolk, I figured… why not do it again, but this time with the Sis We Healing crew?

Founded by Norfolk natives Pusha T of Clipse, Fam-Lay, and Antonio Dowe, Cousinz Festival is now entering its third year and returns to Norfolk Scope Grounds on Saturday, September 5, featuring T.I., Keyshia Cole, The-Dream, Plies, Bryan-Michael Cox & Friends, DJ Envy, DJ Boof, DJ Aktive, DJ Quicksilva, Jae Murphy and more.

The festival offers a mix of indoor and outdoor performances, with a food truck row outside, giving you plenty of opportunities to move around, grab something to eat, and enjoy the festival at your own pace.

This is a casual group outing rather than an event hosted by Sis We Healing. Everyone is responsible for their own ticket and expenses, and you’re welcome to come and go as you please.

You don’t have to stay for the entire festival—come for as much of the day as you’d like.

If you’re planning to join us, RSVP here so we know who will be there.

I’m looking forward to doing it again and hopefully seeing some familiar and new faces out there!

Let’s make a day of it.

Sometimes you just need to get outside, get some fresh air, move your body a little, and have some good conversation.

Let’s meet at Mount Trashmore for a casual walk around the track. No pressure to be a fitness guru, no need to break any records 😂 — just come ready to walk, talk, laugh, and connect with some new people.

Whether you come solo, bring a friend, or you’re just looking for a reason to get out of the house, you’re welcome here.

🚶🏿‍♀️ Casual group walk

Come as you are, walk at your own pace, and let’s enjoy some time outside together. 💜
