First-Ever Community Night at WinterFest on the Wisconsin

60% Admission Reduction Coincides with Grand Illumination Parade.

Norfolk, Va. (Nov. 14, 2023) — Hampton Roads’ newest holiday tradition, WinterFest on the Wisconsin, is inviting the 757 to come celebrate this Saturday, November 18th, with a special $7.57 admission price.  The community-focused initiative is timed to coincide with Downtown Norfolk’s longtime holiday spectacular, the Grand Illumination Parade, and represents a 60% savings for visitors.  

“We’ve deeply discounted these tickets on a premium Saturday night as a way to say, ‘thank you’ to a community that supports us all year long,” said Nauticus executive director, Stephen Kirkland.  “With thousands of visitors downtown for the parade, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to open our doors as widely as possible.” 

This $7.57 admission offer applies to adults and children and is valid only for Saturday, November 18th. Tickets purchased for November 18th can not be exchanged to a different night or refunded due to the difference in price. No other admission discounts can be combined with this promotional rate.

Can’t make it this Saturday? WinterFest’s general admission and member tickets are on sale until January 1. Book your night to discover your holiday spirit exploring this dazzling, waterfront illumination festival featuring more than one million lights.
