The historic Cavalier Resort kicks off its holiday season with a single-evening lighting celebration on its grounds. Guests can enjoy carolers along with hot chocolate and s'mores as the property's decorations are switched on.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Virginia Beach is around 4:49 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:18 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 35°F, so dress for standing around outside.
