What a weekend!
The Northern Neck Beach Music Festival was more than two days of great music—it was a celebration of community!
Throughout the weekend, we had the opportunity to:
*Honor the nominees for the 2026 Community Impact Award and announce this year’s recipient, Pat Fitzgerald, for her dedication to public service through the CB Volunteer Rescue Squad and CB Humane Society.
*Celebrate incredible support for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Colonial Beach. The 50/50 raffle raised $1,805 for the fund, with Saturday’s winner recipient taking home $945 and Sunday’s winner receiving $840. Every ticket helped put books into the hands of children.
*Draw the winning ticket for the Together We Thrive $5,000 raffle. Congratulations to Colonial Beach resident Debbie Stachkunas! In an incredible gesture of generosity, Debbie donated $1,000 of her winnings back to the Foundation.
*Crown the Best Dressed Tent winner—CB Pickleball fit the second year.
To the hundreds of visitors who joined us, the dedicated volunteers who gave their time, our generous sponsors, the talented musicians, festival committee, and everyone who helped make the festival a success—thank you!
This is what community looks like. And together we continue to make a difference.
