About this adventure

Wayne County switches on its Lightfest drive-through display with a short opening ceremony at Merriman Hollow Park in Westland. County Executive Warren Evans and the Department of Public Services welcome families with musical entertainment and refreshments, and the evening is kicked off with fireworks; the county's events list also promises a visit from Santa Claus. The ceremony itself lasts half an hour, from 6 to 6:30 p.m., and people who attend can drive the Lightfest route free during that window, ahead of the regular paid admission for the rest of the season. It is a good way for families with young children to see the lights on opening night without a long evening out. Dress warmly, since the ceremony is outdoors, and note the county's warning that the displays use flashing and strobe effects that can bother people with light sensitivity.
