Evoke is thrilled to partner with the Virginia International Tattoo, a premier military tattoo that has been a cornerstone of the Virginia Arts Festival since its inception in 1997.

Held annually in Norfolk, Virginia, this grand event features an impressive array of military bands, massed pipes and drums, military drill teams, Celtic dancers, and choirs, all presented in collaboration with NATO and the Norfolk NATO Festival.

As the largest show of its kind in the United States, the Virginia International Tattoo boasts over 1,000 artists from around the world and attracts more than 38,000 attendees each year, including over 16,000 local students at the annual student matinees. Recognized as one of the top North American events by the American Bus Association in 2016, it is also one of the founding members of the International Association of Tattoo Organizers (IATO).

Evoke Collaborative was honored to design and execute the lighting for the 2019 and 2022 tattoos, building on the innovative designs from our esteemed collaborators at The Activity.
