Experience the enchantment of the season at the BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach, a beloved Virginia Beach tradition that transforms the boardwalk into a luminous wonderland. Running from Friday, November 20, through December 31, 2026, this drive-through light display features over a million twinkling lights set against the moonlit Atlantic Ocean.
Families can marvel at jumping fish, musical crabs, and a 40-foot dancing-light Christmas tree, as well as the world's largest curved LED light tunnel. Special themed nights include Military Mondays with ticket discounts and Santa Paws Tuesdays offering treats for pets. Vehicles enter at 2nd Street and travel north along the boardwalk, providing a unique perspective of the oceanfront’s festive transformation. Advanced ticket purchase is strongly encouraged to secure your preferred time slot and avoid drive-up fees.
