Williamsburg, Virginia has been called the best town in America for Christmas celebrations. The official kick off for the Christmas season in Colonial Williamsburg is The Grand Illumination.

 

This event is held the first Sunday in December.  Fireworks will be going off simultaneously in three places: the capital, the governor's palace and the magazine.  The fireworks are scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm on December 3, 2017.Grand Illumination

The weather in Williamsburg is usually mild during the first week in December, so if you are in the area, check out The Grand Illumination!

 

 

What a great way to kick off the Christmas season.

Hi Sybil - I am sure it really has atmosphere.  Two years ago we spent Thanksgiving there and had dinner at the Kings Arms.

Hi Debbie Reynolds, Williamsburg is very pretty at Christmas. The fireworks are spectacular especially is you can see all three areas at the same time.
