DETAILS

H.E.F. Fest 2026 **Come together as ONE COMMUNITY. Celebrate Hampton’s Teachers. Support Hampton’s Students. ONE NIGHT OF FUN.** For **25 years**, the Hampton Education Foundation has invested in the teachers and students who make Hampton City Schools exceptional—including more than $350,000 in teacher grants, student scholarships, and educational programs and experiences. This year, we’re celebrating that impact at the **5th Annual H.E.F. Fest**—a night of live music, community, and fun at **The Vanguard**, Hampton’s historic armory transformed into a premier entertainment venue in Downtown Hampton. **And this party has a purpose!** Every sponsorship and ticket purchased helps turn teachers’ innovative ideas into classroom experiences, provide scholarships for graduating seniors, and create meaningful opportunities that help Hampton students learn, explore, and prepare for what comes next. **Come celebrate 25 years of impact—and help us build what comes next.**
