Virginia New Years Eve 2024

Fireworks, Events, Parties, Hotels, Restaurants

Over the years I have read so many books with Virginia at it's heart, albeit most of them are from Patricia Cornwell, but the description of this state have always given me a sense of romance, from its tree lined streets to the snow capped mountains.

Virginia, rich in culture and heritage, is a south eastern state with Richmond as its' capital, stretching from the Chesapeake Bay all the way to the Appalachian Mountains.

This is the kind of place that I would love to visit, locations like Richmond, Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Chesapeake, Lexingon etc. I would be hard pressed to pick one particular place, but Richmond is probably top of my list, purely because I'm a Scarpetta fan!

Things to do

Virginia is a hotbed of events come New Year and boasts First Night celebrations across the state, so depending where you are, head to these locations to join in the entertainment, including live music, kids entertainment, street performers and so much more, in an alcohol free environment which is perfect for family friendly festivities.

First Night Virginia, in Charlottesville, (cancelled for 2023/24) head to the Downtown Mall for live music, entertainment, story telling, magicians, street performers and of course fireworks.

First Night Alexandria - Old Town Alexandria is transformed for New Year into a performance hub for everyone to enjoy. The fireworks are on the Pontomac river, so being close to the river come midnight would be a great spot to see the display.
