Lightfest Gets Turned On

For many families it’s a holiday tradition.

The Wayne County Lightfest is slated to switch on Nov. 18, when the display opens to bikers along Hines Drive, and offer holiday-light lovers more than four miles of twinkling displays between Ann Arbor Trail and Warren in Westland.

Nearly four dozen large animated displays highlight the trail, which has been converted entirely to more environmentally friendly LED lights.

The trial will officially open to vehicles Nov. 19.

The trial costs $5 per vehicle, and the Bike Through the Lights is $25.

Hours are 7-10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 6-10 p.m. Fridays through Sundays.

The display is closed Christmas Day.
