Events in Suffolk today

Explore the children’s garden at Sleepy Hole Park during Open Garden Days, a welcoming time to enjoy a sensory space created for children of all ages. VCE Master Gardeners who care for the garden are available to share what is being grown, answer questions, guide informal tours, and even invite visitors to help with a bit of weeding. These gatherings are typically held on the fourth Wednesday of the month during the growing season. Plans can change with weather, so sessions may be canceled. If one is called off or you miss a scheduled day, feel free to stop by when the gardeners are working in the space, as they are glad to talk about the plants throughout the garden. Virginia Cooperative Extension, a partnership of Virginia Tech, Virginia State University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments, is an equal opportunity employer. For disability-related assistance or accommodations, contact Andrea Slye with VCE City of Suffolk during business hours at 757-514-4337. TDD users may call 800-828-1120.

At the Axes & Irons Golf Classic, firefighters, local businesses, community leaders, and supporters gather for a day of golf, connection, and community impact. The event benefits local first responders and their families and is presented in partnership with Trails of Purpose, an organization that supports veterans, first responders, and individuals facing life’s challenges through programs centered on healing, connection, and purpose. Participants can look forward to 18 holes of golf, food and beverages, raffles with prizes, and awards. On-course contests and sponsor activations add to the experience, and the camaraderie of first responders is a hallmark of the day. Whether playing, sponsoring, donating, or offering encouragement, every form of involvement helps make a meaningful difference.
