Top 10 Can’t Miss Events at UVA

1. Lighting of the Lawn

Held in December every year, students fill the lawn to watch a cappella groups perform Christmas classics and to see the Rotunda flooded with a light show. “I think one great thing is that so many people go… I think every time I’ve gone I [lose] the group I went with and I’m walking through the crowd looking for them and I just keep running into other people I know. That’s probably the most fun part of the event,” UVA third year art history and archaeology major Will Pedrick said. It’s also a wonderful time to celebrate before winter break and exam week. “People usually go home after exams so it’s one of the last times of the semester where everyone’s all together,” Pedrick added.
