Head to Colonial Williamsburg at night for another reason – on the historic Duke of Gloucester Street they will be Lighting of the Cressets this fall. This brings their 18th-century streets to life at night – so don’t miss the strolling musicians and make sure to take in an evening program like To Hang a Pirate, Cry Witch, Haunted Williamsburg, or Capitol Concerts (dates vary). Enjoy this time of year in the evenings – the cressets make the streets glow and it is a beautiful sight! This event is weather dependent.

FREE and open to the public.

One of the most beautiful spots to take an evening stroll. You do not need a ticket to enjoy this but if you want to take in an evening Haunted Williamsburg tour, you can purchase a ticket on DoG St. And if you have your Good Neighbor Pass you can get discounts on dining/shopping at Colonial Williamsburg Taverns and Shops!

Stop and have a drink in a tavern or shop and dine at one of the Colonial Williamsburg shops or restaurants. Or just go out in the evening air and enjoy the most enchanting of streets in America. See the schedule here or check our daily calendar.
