VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The Hampton Roads holiday lights tradition on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk is set to begin in November and new this year, touchless ticketing.
Bayport Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach begins Friday, November 13, and continues nightly through January 3, 2021. Tickets go on sale Thursday, October 15 at 10 a.m.
Guests will be required to purchase tickets in advance, online through Eventbrite. Upon entry, tickets will be scanned on mobile devices, to limit person-to-person contact.
Drive your vehicles on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk through holiday, nautical, and adventure-themed light displays, listening to a holiday soundtrack on the radio.
The festive fish, musical crabs, and hard-working elves will be back this year along with Surfing Santa and a 40-foot tall dancing light Christmas tree, new for 2020.
“Here at BayPort, we know that 2020 has been a challenging year for many in our community. Now more than ever, we believe in the value of safe, fun, and family-friendly experiences this holiday season. That is why we are excited to be the presenting sponsor of this year’s Holiday Lights at the Beach for the third straight year,” said President and CEO Jim Mears.
