Description

Designed by R. Buckminster Fuller for Henry Kaiser in 1957, The original Virginia Beach Dome’s space-age facade stood as an shining beacon drawing the region together. Originally a gathering place for industry conventions, car and collectible shows, private parties, school dances, and even roller skating, by the late 1960s the Oceanfront icon had evolved into Virginia Beach’s entertainment epicenter. Embracing waves of jazz, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll to psychedelic, hard rock, and metal, this music mecca rode the shifting sounds of the time.

As a vacation hotspot for families from across the country, every summer its halls filled with visiting teenagers screaming for legendary acts like Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath. But by the 1980s the aging structure’s time had run out, and on September 9, 1994, the original Dome was reduced to an empty lot—until now.

Ascending from the same place after almost 30 years, Atlantic Park is bringing the community back to Oceanfront with a "live, work, play" destination featuring a year-round surf park. Rising at its center, a new indoor-outdoor music hall is finally resurrecting Virginia Beach’s iconic entertainment epicenter, picking up where it left off as the one and only - The Dome by Rutter Mills.
