Portsmouth Attractions

Portsmouth, Virginia is located on the Elizabeth river, tributary to the Chesapeake Bay.  Portsmouth has one of the oldest working harbors in the country and much of what there is do and see in Portsmouth is located in the Olde Towne neighborhood.  Portsmouth also has an excellent assortment of concert venues, include the waterside NTelos Pavilion. 

 




Portsmouth has three great venues for music and the arts. We have a complete concert-goer's guide to the NTelos Pavilion Harbor Center, a 6,500 seat amphitheatre. Under cover or under the stars on the lawn, it's a good place to hear a concert. Willett Hall is a 2,000 seat indoor facility with outstanding acoustics. The Commodore Theatre makes movie-going an event at a luxuriously restored 1945 Art Deco style motion picture theatre presenting first run films with food and drink. For Portsmouth festivals, concerts and other events, here's a calendar.
