Step back in time and celebrate the season in true “Retro Wonderland” flavor with Virginia Stage Company as we proudly partner with local artists, artisans, and crafters for our annual Mistletoe Market!
Happening just before Norfolk’s beloved Grand Illumination Parade, the market will be filled with handmade treasures, a cozy bar serving warm drinks and snacks, and fun activities for the little ones—including photos with Santa himself!
Nestled in the heart of downtown Norfolk, The Wells Theatre is a true hidden gem. This National Historic building still dazzles with its restored original structure—dressed to the nines for the holidays.
And no holiday event would be complete without the sweet sounds of The Doorway Singers! They’ll be spreading cheer as they carol down Tazewell and Granby Streets.
Arrive early to snag a great parking spot and explore our local artisan market—no tickets needed! If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of one of our most infamous holiday guests: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come!
