Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village
The Henry Ford turns Greenfield Village in Dearborn into a lantern-lit holiday evening on Wednesday, December 23, 2026, 6:30–10 p.m.: roasting chestnuts, an ice rink, free Model T and horse-drawn wagon rides, and fireworks to close. Tickets are $39–48, free for kids 4 and under, online, by phone or on site.
More than 80 acres light up: choirs, fiddlers and merrymakers play, presenters in period dress act out holidays past, and the homes and shops are decked out. Skating is free, skate rental included, and so are the carousel, the Model T rides and the horse-drawn wagons with live music. Glassblowers and printers work in front of you, and the night ends with fireworks and a sing-along.
New in 2026, you can step inside the Jackson Home from Selma, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and fellow organizers planned the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery marches: inside it is Christmas 1965, with period decor, costumed presenters and holiday cooking, and outside it is the first village home ever strung with Christmas lights.
Entry is not timed: come anytime between 6:30 and 9:45 p.m., members from 6. Members pay $33.25–40.75, seniors 62 and up get 10% off and kids 5–11 get 25% off. Parking is $10, free for members. It runs rain or shine, with no refunds for bad weather. All nights: December 3–6, 10–13, 17–23 and 26–28, 2026.
