About the Event
Shop & Stroll Hilton Village is a dynamic half‑day event designed to celebrate military spouses while connecting them with the local businesses, experiences, and resources that make Newport News— especially Hilton Village — such a special place to live, shop, and dine. Hosted in partnership with the Veterans Employment Center and Retail Alliance, the event brings together 25–50 military spouses for networking, a panel discussion, local resources, and a curated Shop & Stroll Trail featuring Hilton Village businesses.
