Light up your days... and your evenings
Where else can you dine with Thomas Jefferson, hear A Christmas Carol told by a descendent of Charles Dickens, attend Lady Dunmore’s Fancy Dress Ball, or share holiday tea with Christiana Campbell, proprietress of an 18th-century tavern? This Christmas season, learn the secrets of the chocolate maker, design natural door decorations, or dance a jig played with antique instruments.
We invite you to join us for old traditions and new programs that create a Colonial Williamsburg Christmas Experience.
