What’s Brewing in Norfolk: Heroes, Happenings & a Signature Drink!

Hello Norfolk! 👋
This week’s edition is a beauty — filled with heart, humour, and a whole lot of hometown goodness. 💛🌽
🏃♂️ First up: Dan Johnson of Port Dover is turning pain into purpose. After losing his son Luke, he’s running marathons (literally), cycling across Canada 🚴♂️, and raising funds for a local hospice — all to honour Luke’s memory.
📚 Then, meet local author Phil Brown, whose Norfolk Chronicles is climbing the charts and tugging on small-town heartstrings. Expect laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of Norfolk charm.
🍹 And now for something fun: it’s time for Norfolk to invent its own drink.
That’s right — Long Island’s got its iced tea, Moscow has its mule… and we’ve got… nothing. 😅
Let’s fix that.
🎤 Plus: Fake News Norfolk is back, we’ve got your full event lineup (hello karaoke and monster trucks!), live music from Dover to Delhi 🎶, and a look at what’s happening all weekend long.
Scroll down for all the good stuff 👇
