Santa...in the sand?
McDonald's Holiday Lights at the Beach (sponsored by nTelos Wireless) is a magical family fun attraction. Located at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, it's the perfect way to start the holiday season. Join 30,000 people who flock annually to this festive and creative light display on the oceanfront.
Don't worry--that's 30,000 over the entire holiday season--you won't have to battle them all at once! Still, go with what the locals know: Saturday nights have the biggest crowds, so stick with Friday and Sunday nights.

Last year, they offered active military a special $2 discount the first two weeks of December when you showed your military ID. I don't know yet if they're offering it again this year, but it's worth a try!
