Hermitage Richmond Hosts Its First “Illumination on the Lawn”

This holiday season, Hermitage Richmond invites everyone to enjoy a little physically distanced fun and holiday magic at their inaugural Illumination on the Lawn.

From December 5 until January 6, the grounds at Hermitage Richmond in historic Ginter Park will be transformed into a spectacular winter wonderland display of holiday lights and reindeer. The ongoing event is free to attend and guests are asked to wear masks and practice physical distancing.

"While our holiday celebrations and traditions have taken on a different look during the pandemic, our community wanted to offer a celebration of the holiday season that minimizes contact yet maximizes fun and inclusiveness," says Chris Henderson, CEO of Pinnacle Living, which operates Hermitage Richmond.

“We’re all craving an activity for the whole family that is safe and physically distant,” says Marcia Robertson, Hermitage Richmond's marketing director. “We hope this spectacular display is one that brings joy and light to not only our residents but to the community as well."

Hermitage Richmond is located at 1600 Westwood Avenue, Richmond, VA 23227.
