Return to the Era of the Shag in Williamsburg, VA
“The Shag” may not be at the forefront of popular culture anymore, but this energetic dance number is far from dead! In fact, Yorktown, near Williamsburg, is holding an entire celebration to the dance phenomenon with Shagging on the Riverwalk. Held every Friday from July 20th through August 17th, Shagging on the Riverwalk offers live concerts featuring a variety of beach music, as well as the chance to get out and shag to your heart’s content. Whether reliving the summer days of your teenage years or discovering this once popular craze for the first time, Shagging on the Riverwalk is a family event that can offer great times for all generations.
Of course, Shagging on the Riverwalk is far from the only trip back in time that you’ll find when visiting the Williamsburg area. In fact, Williamsburg itself can transport travelers to the 18th century with Colonial Williamsburg. This popular historical attraction offers an entire village comprised of the architecture, culture and atmosphere of the 18th century through a variety of unique exhibits and reenactments. From touring plantation settings to witnessing authentic craftsmen at work, you’ll find an immersive experience with all the details covered when visiting Colonial Williamsburg.
