2019 Holiday Lights at the Beach

Virginia Beach Boardwalk

The Holiday Lights at the Beach boardwalk lights display has been a holiday tradition in Virginia Beach for over 20 years.

The Holiday Lights display at the boardwalk in Virginia Beach once covered 30 blocks. However, due to long-term wear and tear on the light displays, the event has been shortened recently to feature 50 favorite displays over 12 blocks along the boardwalk, from 8th Street to 22nd Street.

The Holiday Lights Merry Mile returns for 2019 as the BayPort Credit Union Holdiay Lights Merry Mile with a selection of favorite displays.

BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights Merry Mile 2019

Over 50 of the most popular light displays have been hand-picked for inclusion in this year's Merry Mile.

Visitors can view the light displays by driving along a special designated route along the boardwalk. There are animated light displays along on either side of the boardwalk, with some arching over the boardwalk path.

We don't know yet which displays have been selected for the 2019 show, but past displays have included jumping dolphins, sailboats gently rocking in the wind, surfing Santa, and more.
