Grand Illumination December 2, 2011

Celebrate Illuminate with Venture Richmond and the River District Canal Cruises Downtown starting Friday, Dec. 2.
This year’s Celebrate Illuminate events are the perfect way to get you and your family in the spirit of the season.
It all starts with The James Center’s 27th annual Grand Illumination, which is slated to be the best yet. The illumination happens at 6 p.m. sharp. After the James Center’s Illumination, follow Santa and the Varina High School marching band down to the turning basin, where they will perform. At 7 p.m., please join Santa for a historically-narrated canal cruise. Southside Baptist Christian School Choral Ensemble will be present and singing at the top of the turning basin. There are also many, many more wonderful events scheduled for the Grand Illumination evening and throughout the rest of the holiday season.
Can’t make it on the evening of Grand Illumination? There will be carriage rides departing from the James Center Friday through Sunday throughout the month of December, up until Dec. 23rd. Reservations are required — please call (804) 769-4580 or (804) 514-4767.
