Overview

This group walking tour before Grand Illumination explores Colonial Williamsburg's Christmas traditions and picturesque holiday decorations of our historical area. This tour provides insight about the materials, crafts people, construction and design of the wreaths and garlands adorning the exterior of most 18th Century buildings, exhibits and private homes and different judging categories. We meet at the corner of the Duke of Gloucester St and Nassau St (Bryan House) to begin our journey along the Duke of Gloucester. We'll discuss how holidays were celebrated in 17th and 18th Centuries here in Virginia including plantations, our Capital cities and during the Revolutionary War (e.g., Continental Army).
Note: Grand Illuminations are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saturdays of December (7pm fireworks).
