About this adventure
Experience the Midwest's longest and largest drive-through holiday light show along picturesque Hines Drive in Western Wayne County! Stretching more than four miles through Hines Park, the Wayne County Lightfest dazzles visitors of all ages with nearly 50 elaborate animated holiday light displays made up of more than 100,000 sparkling LED lights. Families can relax in the comfort and warmth of their own vehicles while tuning their car radios to festive holiday music as they cruise past glowing reindeer, animated winter scenes, and towering rainbow light arches. At the conclusion of the light drive at Warrendale Park, families can visit Santa's Workshop for photos, hot cider, and holiday cookies. Hines Drive is easily accessible from Merriman Road in Westland.
