DAY 1

IMPORTANT NOTE: In an attempt to minimize travel time to arrive in Norfolk on time for the Tattoo performance there will be no breakfast stop. We ask that you have breakfast before arriving at your morning departure location or you may bring it along with you on the bus. You will, however, make a short restroom stop and an early fast-food lunch stop enroute to Norfolk.

Join Wolf's to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary with an afternoon of military pageantry at the Virginia International Military Tattoo performance at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, VA.

Once inside, enjoy premium seating for a performance that will capture the imagination and ignite the soul with the largest spectacle of Music and Might in the United States with an astounding display of inspirational military music, majestic, massed pipes and drums, show stopping drill team maneuvers, colorful and elegant dances all in one performance at the Virginia International Tattoo. Witness all five branches of our military perform with precision and pageantry, along with an extraordinary cast of hundreds of performers from around the world.
