Two of the area's greatest holiday events are happening this weekend in Hampton Roads. Grab your family and get in the Christmas spirit!
Holly Dazzle in Newport News
Don’t miss this special holiday event in the center of Oyster Point at City Center; a 45’ Christmas Tree is synchronized to change colors to the holiday music and a lighted fountain show. Lots of holiday music and entertainment, including arts and crafts for the kids (where they can make ornaments and gifts), holiday treats and food vendors, and fun for the whole family. The evening concludes with a spectacular fireworks show. For more information, visit http://www.nngov.com/parks-and-recreation/events/hollydazzle/view .
Grand Illumination in Williamsburg
One of the older of such community events began at Colonial Williamsburg, the restored Historic District of the former Virginia capital city of Williamsburg in 1935. It is held there each year on the Sunday of the first full weekend in December. (That is, if December begins on a Sunday, the event is held the following Sunday.) Williamsburg's Grand Illumination, which also involves fireworks, is based loosely on the colonial (and English) tradition of placing lighted candles in the windows of homes and public buildings to celebrate a special event.
