Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for October 10, 2025. We're starting off with a special guest in town - none other than Pharrell Williams, who is visiting his hometown for the Atlantic Park Weekend Celebration, happening today and tomorrow. In partnership with adidas, Pharrell is hosting two events for fans. On 20th Street, an exclusive merch pop-up will offer limited-edition VIRGINIA merchandise and new adidas Adistar sneakers. Pharrell will stop by to visit with fans from 4:30 to 5 p.m. Tomorrow, Atlantic Park Surf will launch their "Next Wave" program with free swim and surf lessons for kids, where fans can also meet Pharrell.We're also tracking a significant development from city hall. The Virginia Beach City Council is forming a task force to enforce e-bike rules, following a summer of accidents. This move aims to keep riders and pedestrians safe, with options to prohibit certain e-bike classes on sidewalks and paths. Currently, e-bikes are allowed on sidewalks and designated paths but are prohibited on the Boardwalk and certain areas along Atlantic Avenue.Let's take a look at the weather for today. We're expecting partly sunny skies in the morning, turning mostly cloudy later, with highs in the upper 60s. Northeast winds will keep it breezy, so it's a good idea to dress accordingly.In the community, we have a few events coming up. The Atlantic Park Weekend Celebration is a major highlight, but we also encourage you to explore local businesses. Unfortunately, there aren't any new business openings to report today, but we're keeping an eye out for any changes.On the education front, our local schools are gearing up for sports competitions this week. We'll keep you updated on any notable achievements.In more serious news, we want to remind everyone to stay safe. Recently, the police department has been addressing safety concerns related to e-bikes, and we urge everyone to follow local regulations.Lastly, we have a feel-good story from Atlantic Park Surf. Their new program aims to provide water safety education for kids, connecting them with positive community activities.This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse.
