Holiday Shopping Weekends at Virden Await You.
Squeeze in a weekend at the shore and enjoy local holiday festivities and outlet shopping.
Walk the beach, shop the outlets, take a brewery tour, dine somewhere new. Lewes will be bright and cheery as the holiday season picks up and the Virden Center makes it easy for you and your family and friends to enjoy it all.
THE PERFECT GIFTS
Hit the outlets and specialty boutiques and make progress on your gift list. Then treat yourself to Virden’s great overnight rates.
HOLIDAY FESTIVALS
Feel like a kid again with the magic that is Lewes Lights, Winter Wonderfest, and Schellville Enchanted Winter Celebration– three of Delaware’s biggest holiday festivals.
Visit the Lewes Chamber of Commerce for its complete event listing including art and craft fairs, holiday markets, parades, tours and more, and the Lewes Historical Society for their 49th Annual Holiday Tour of Lewes and Holiday Village and Market.
WARM & COZY
After a full day of shopping, sightseeing, and dining, stir up some hot cocoa mix with a candy cane as you relax in your guestroom.
The Virden Center.
One of the UD Community’s best perks.
