Holiday Lights at the Beach

Holiday Lights at the Beach is an annual tradition where the Virginia Beach Oceanfront boardwalk transforms into a dazzling display of festive lights. This isn't a traditional theatrical performance with live actors, but rather an immersive light show experienced from your car, driving along the decorated oceanfront. It’s a chance to see the beach in a different light, with holiday-themed displays stretching for miles. This event runs on Friday, November 20, 2026, at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront in Virginia Beach, VA. It's a drive-through experience, suitable for families or anyone looking for a relaxed way to get into the holiday spirit without leaving their vehicle. The atmosphere is generally festive and laid-back.
