Christmas Illuminations at Mount Vernon

Christmas Illuminations at Mount Vernon

About

Kick off the holiday season with sparkling fireworks overlooking the Potomac River! 

Join Mount Vernon for an evening of family-friendly fun and fireworks choreographed to holiday music. Before the fireworks begin around 8 p.m., take a stroll through the estate and chat with re-enactors from the First Virginia Regiment. The General and Lady Washington will also be on-site to greet Mount Vernon’s holiday guests.

Watch colonial artisans demonstrate the 18th-century process of creating chocolate and visit with the camel Aladdin on the 12-acre field. Keep toasty by warming up by a bonfire, drinking hot chocolate or cider, or visiting the Museum and Education Center.

Still haven’t found the perfect holiday gift? Shop a winter market featuring items made by colonial artisans, or shop at the Shops at Mount Vernon, open late during Christmas Illuminations.
