Williamsburg has always been particularly popular with exiles from Washington and the DC area looking for some fireworks to greet the new year, it's only a couple of hours drive away and offers the added opportunity to take in some of the enduringly popular tourist sites of Colonial Williamsburg.
One popular venue is always the famous Busch Gardens, where the Christmas Town holiday spectacle is open until 10pm on new years eve for one last chance to enjoy the lights and food and drink treats. This year there are fireworks scheduled for 9pm on 31st December. Tickets are available here.
The jewel in the crown of the Williamsburg tourist attractions, Colonial Williamsburg also gets in on the act on new years eve, with several special events, like their New Years Eve Brunch, Hogmanay! The Scotsman's Greatest Day!, New Years Eve Dinner and the Rockefeller New Years Eve Celebration.
You will need to reserve tickets in advance for these events, they are available online here.
As quite a small town the hotel accommodation in Williamsburg is somewhat limited in relation to the numbers of visitors who head to town over the new year period, so if you're planning on staying over it's wise to book well in advance.
You can search for deals and book online at all the best Williamsburg new years eve hotels here.
There will be plenty of food on offer from the vendors at the First Night party but if you fancy something a little more formal to get your evening underway there are of course a plethora of dining options in Williamsburg, with most tastes more than adequately catered for. See the full range of local eateries here.
We haven't been able to track down much in the way of live coverage but there are some fabulous webcams streaming live from Colonial Williamsburg - not much use for watching fireworks but well worth a look all the same:
