James Center Grand Illumination 2009 set for Friday December 4
A word from Venture Richmond on one of Richmond’s most popular holiday events:
On Friday, December 4 Downtown Richmond will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Grand Illumination at the James Center (10th & E. Cary Streets). Be there right at 6pm to experience a family tradition that has, for so many years, lit up downtown during the holidays.

James Center’s Grand Illumination and more this weekend
Last year for the Grand Illumination we walked from 18th Street over to the Illumination and back and marveled how, on nights like this with so many people out and about on foot, Richmond feels like a different and larger city. Come on down Friday night for the 10th Annual Holiday Market @ 17th Street Farmers Market, check out the Canal Boat Rides at the Turning Basin, the Main Street Station Holiday Open House, the Capitol Square Tree Lighting, and the James Center’s Grand Illumination. There isn’t another night like it.
