Cavalier Grand Illumination

Gather with us on the Great Lawn for an evening of holiday cheer as Santa transforms our resort into a dazzling holiday destination.

As the lights illuminate The Cavalier, we'll welcome the holiday season with joy as Santa and his friends take the stage to sing beloved holiday classics.

Stay for photos with Mr. & Mrs. Claus, warm up with hot cocoa and s’mores and toast to the season with handcrafted holiday cocktails in The Raleigh Room.

Keep an eye out for Ballet Virginia’s Nutcracker dancers, adding a touch of timeless enchantment as carolers fill the air with spirited holiday melodies.
