A Holiday Lights Extravaganza!

Celebrate the season with our most popular holiday lights tour! This year’s tour includes an exciting holiday festival called Christmas Village, where the campus of Regent University and the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach are transformed into an enchanting place where the true meaning of the Christmas season is celebrated.  Afternoon arrival brings us first to the CBN Studio Headquarters Building for a guided tour that includes seeing where the 700 Club is filmed as well as a visit to their history museum and chapel.   Next, enjoy a wonderful plated dinner at the Swan Terrace Restaurant of the Founders Inn & Spa, one of the top sophisticated, luxury hotels in the Hampton Roads area.

Once the sun goes down the Christmas Lights come on! Christmas Village is the not-to-miss festival of the holiday season!  Highlights include the Christmas Marketplace, where you can complete your holiday shopping with unique gifts made my local artisans.  See the Live Nativity where you witness the miracle of Jesus’ birth with Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, wise men and live animals or catch a performance by local choirs and bands in the Shaw Chapel. Visit Santa’s Cottage and marvel at all the holiday lights and decorations!   As we work our way back to Richmond this evening, prepare for another amazing light show at the Newport News Celebration in Lights known historically as Virginia’s first drive through holiday lights event.  Amazing!
