The holiday season is a train that keeps on chugging. It seems like every week holds more parties, get-togethers, and cookie exchanges. Maybe you're looking for an extra special event to take your loved ones to! We have a list of excellent events that will satisfy all types of holiday celebrators across Michigan.

Sparkle In The Park

This display is one for the record books. With over 60,000 lights on display in 50 different configurations, this light show is open from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, located in Bear Lake's lakeside Hopkins Park. The event is completely free, with donations encouraged to help maintain and grow the display for years to come. This Saturday, carriage rides will also be available in the park!

Walk Of Trees

This event is a great way to get some winter exercise and appreciate nature. Located in Kellogg Park, 75 trees are individually decorated by participating families, businesses, and clubs. The display is open 24 hours and free to the public through the New Year — and this weekend Santa will be greeting families upon arrival!

Santa's Magic Forest

This wonderland looks right out of a movie. Located in Taylor, anyone can enjoy this winter delight for only $3, which goes directly to the Fish & Loaves Community Food Pantry. The display is indoors, so even when it gets blustery outside you can still enjoy the view. Animated characters, Christmas displays, and light shows are all included in the entry fee. Open this weekend from 1–7pm — be sure to check it out before the holiday is over!

Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village

The priciest option on our list, but well worth it — this celebration is hailed as one of the top Christmas events in the entire United States! The Greenfield Village display is turning 20 this year and many Michiganders look forward to it annually. Think of an entire 80-acre town dressed to the nines with holiday cheer, complete with live reindeer, ice skating, and staff dressed in full period attire. Restaurants, bars, and Santa keep everyone busy and happy, and sensory-friendly options are available so that everyone can enjoy the holiday spirit. Open for the next two weekends — it is an absolute must-see!

Don't be a Scrooge this holiday season — partake and enjoy! There is something for everyone in these next few weeks, and we at Kratos Gas & Power hope that you find your cheer!
