The Historic Holiday Pass

Visit Williamsburg is gearing up for the Historic Holiday Pass, and we want YOU to be part of the magic! We’re looking for exclusive deals, discounts, and offers to spread holiday cheer across the region this holiday season. Please send a brief description of your discount or offer to Emma Schmitz by Friday, November 14th. 

The 2026 Black Film Festival will take place in Williamsburg — a powerful celebration of Black voices, stories, and creativity in film. The festival will feature film screenings, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. You can get involved through sponsorship, volunteering, or helping spread the word. For more information, email Elisa Campana.

According to the latest (Wave 100) American Travel Sentiment Study from Longwoods International, the majority of travelers, 58%, plan to travel about the same amount this fall compared to last year. A quarter, 23%, however, plan to travel less this fall compared to the previous year. 

Visit Williamsburg is on the hunt for your coziest and thrilling fall happenings, seasonal flavors, and autumn discounts. Whether it’s a pumpkin spice latte, a haunted hayride, or a special hotel special. We want to hear from you. Please send us a brief description of your fall offers to Emma Schmitz.
