Celebrate The Holidays in Virginia Beach

With the holiday season in Virginia Beach comes a beach scene with a decidedly more local vibe and a wave of holiday activities that can only be experienced in our coastal city. 'Tis the season to trade your snow shovel for a Virginia Beach vacation and fill your days with Christmas cheer with a little bit of seaside flair. When you have a whole coastal city at your fingertips, a winter getaway to the beach is the gift that keeps on giving.

Together for the Holidays Pass

BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach

The Bayport Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach is the perfect event to attend during the 2021 holiday season! Guests drive their vehicles on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk through holiday, nautical, and adventure-themed light displays, listening on their radios to a soundtrack playing traditional holiday music. Festive fish, musical crabs, and hard-working elves – all in brightly colored lights against the moonlit Atlantic Ocean - are the stars of BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach. They are joined by Surfing Santa and a 40-foot tall dancing light Christmas tree! The magical light display features fish swimming overhead, color-changing archways, and light fixtures that pay tribute to the region’s Armed Forces community.
