Holiday Lights at the Beach

Hosted by: Beach Events

  • November 14, 2025 - December 31, 2025

    Hours vary each day.

November 14, 2025 - December 31, 2025

The tradition returns to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront with all new displays, two additional blocks of lights, and a new 600 ft. LED tunnel.

Jumping fish, musical crabs, and jolly elves dance in lights against the backdrop of the moonlit Atlantic Ocean. Highlighted by a Surfing Santa, color-changing archways, light fixtures that pay tribute to the region's Armed Forces community, and a 40-foot dancing-light Christmas tree, the 2025 BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion, offers wondrous fun for the entire family.

The 2025 BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion, will again utilize timed entry to minimize wait times. Guests must purchase tickets in advance for a specific day and time, available at beacheventsvb.com.

In the spirit of the season, join Food Lion on Sunday, December 10 for a special Food Lion Feeds night. Since 2001, the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation has supported programs and events that focus on alleviating food insecurity in the towns and cities where they operate through the donation of product or Food Lion gift Cards. On Sunday, December 10, Food Lion Feeds will collect donations of non-perishable food and money with proceeds benefiting Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore Food Banks. The suggested donation is a minimum of 5 non-perishable food items or $10.

Families are encouraged to enjoy everything the Virginia Beach Resort has to offer. Pair BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, presented by Food Lion with one of the many fine restaurants or exciting attractions at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront for a truly unforgettable night.
