If you love the holidays, you’ve got no shortage of charming events to select from this season. Michigan is home to everything from drive-thru Christmas light displays to beautifully decorated downtowns, so it’s easy to embrace the spirit of the season. One delightful event here in the Great Lakes State takes the cake when it comes to decor and holiday cheer, though - and you’ll want to see it for yourself. It takes place at beautiful Greenfield Village in Michigan, and it is one of our favorite annual traditions. Come along and see why:
Greenfield Village is located at 20900 Oakwood Blvd in Dearborn.
It is conveniently only about a 30-minute drive from downtown Detroit.
This sprawling living history museum operates as part of the Henry Ford.
For decades it has drawn in guests with its glimpses into the past and its family-friendly events throughout the year.
During the holidays, Greenfield Village comes to life with lights, cheer, and a friendly spirit that can’t be denied.
Get ready to step into an old-fashioned Christmas wonderland.
Everywhere you look there is magic to be found.
Visitors say that Christmas in Michigan is just not the same without a visit here.
On select dates through the end of December, guests will have the chance to...
... explore decorated historic buildings, listen to yuletide tunes, and bask in the aroma of roasting chestnuts.
During your time at Holiday Nights, you’ll encounter twinkling lights, costumed performers, and a sense of timeless charm that can’t be found elsewhere. Even the Grinch would marvel at it!
At the end of the evening, the sky over the 80-acre village is illuminated with celebratory fireworks to represent the joy of the season.
We can’t imagine a more magical sight.
Whether you’re a longtime attendee of this fun event or a newcomer, one thing is for sure: a visit to Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village will make your Michigan Christmastime complete.
