## About

Widely heralded as one of America's premier living-history holiday traditions, Holiday Nights transforms 80 acres of historic Greenfield Village into a glowing 19th-century winter wonderland. Families can ride in authentic Model T cars and horse-drawn carriages, lace up skates on the outdoor ice rink, warm up beside crackling bonfires, and listen to costumed carolers, brass ensembles, and fife-and-drum corps along lantern-lit paths. Historic homes and workshops—including Thomas Edison's Menlo Park laboratory and the Wright brothers' home—feature live period demonstrations, warm hearth cooking, and festive seasonal greenery.

Children can visit with Santa and live reindeer, make classic holiday crafts, and watch the evening culminate in a dramatic fireworks finale set to holiday music at 9:50 PM. Paved walking routes easily accommodate strollers and wagons, though warm layers and walking boots are essential. Hot spiced cider, roasted chestnuts, and festive dinners are sold throughout the village. Tickets regularly sell out weeks in advance.
