Editing Urbanna, Virginia (section)

==Events==
For more than 60 years, the town has hosted the Urbanna [[Oyster]] Festival. Begun in 1958, the festival is held the first weekend of November each year, from Friday morning to ending Saturday night. Live music, arts and crafts, two parades (the Fireman Parade on Friday night, and the Festival Parade on Saturday afternoon), the renowned oyster-shucking contest, and children's activities are all major attractions. A variety of foods is available from numerous vendors. Annual attendance over the two days is in between 50,000 and 75,000. During the festival, the town is closed to traffic in the afternoon on Friday and for most of the day Saturday. Admission to the event is free of charge, although there is a fee for parking within the vicinity of the festival.

An outdoor art and craft show, Art on the Half Shell, was started in 2001. The juried, one-day event has become quite popular and, like the Oyster Festival, is open to the public at no charge. Local and out of town artists are featured, with a great variety of artistic mediums presented.

August in Urbanna includes Founders' Day, the 2018 event coincides with [[Oyster buy-boat|oyster buyboats]] on display at the marina.

The Museum in Urbanna, once a Scottish Factor Store, displays a copy of John Mitchell's Map.
