Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Hampton
Summer
Summer (June–August) — busiest, warmest, most events.
Winter (December–February) — cheapest hotels, fewer crowds.
March–May: Temperatures warm from cool to pleasant (50s–70s°F). Flowers and trees bloom, humidity is still moderate, and outdoor activities become comfortable. Great time for waterfront walks and visiting Fort Monroe before peak summer crowds.
Usually staged in June at the Hampton Coliseum or nearby venues. A long-running music festival featuring national and international jazz, R&B and popular artists; draws visitors from across the region.
Held in the fall (often October). One of the university's largest annual events with parades, football games, pageantry and parties — it attracts many alumni and boosts local hotel demand.
A summer holiday celebration along Hampton's downtown waterfront with fireworks, boat parades and family activities — a popular local tradition.
Local December holiday markets, parades and light displays occur downtown and in nearby neighborhoods — good for family travel and shorter visits.
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for summer (plus a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent). For spring and fall pack layers (light jacket and rain layer). Winters are usually mild but bring a warmer coat for chilly nights. If traveling during hurricane season (roughly June–November, peak Aug–Oct), purchase travel insurance that covers weather disruptions and monitor forecasts the week before travel.
Hotel and short-term rental rates in Hampton generally rise during the warm-weather tourist season and around major local events. Peak room rates are normally in mid-June through August (beaches and festivals) and during big Hampton Coliseum concerts or Hampton University events (homecoming, commencements). Rates drop in late fall and winter (December–February), with the lowest inventory/prices in January–early February. Weekend rates increase for college events, concerts and holiday weekends. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead for summer travel and 6–12 weeks ahead for major events is typical; for winter, 1–3 weeks often suffices.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Hampton is part of the Hampton Roads region. Downtown Hampton and historic Phoebus are walkable; a car makes it easier to explore the peninsula and nearby beaches. Public transit (HRT buses) covers local routes; the nearest major airport is Norfolk International Airport (ORF) ~25–35 minutes by car.
Base yourself in Downtown Hampton or Historic Phoebus for walkability and easy access to ferries and waterfront dining. Allocate at least one day to visit nearby sites: Fort Monroe (history and beaches), a harbor cruise, and a day trip to Colonial Williamsburg or Norfolk for museums and the USS Wisconsin. For event travel (Hampton Jazz Festival or Homecoming), book lodging and parking in advance and arrive early to avoid congestion.
