Top 2020 Metro Detroit Christmas Light Displays

Remember, in the classic Dr. Seuss tale, how the Grinch attempted to steal Christmas by taking away presents, decorations, and even…the roast beast?  That grumpy green character soon realized that despite his efforts, ““It [Christmas] came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.”

It may not be a green animated character, but many of us are definitely feeling like something is stealing Christmas this year, thanks to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic.  But, just like the Grinch, we have to realize that Christmas will still come and even though celebrations will look a little different this year, there is still plenty of (safe) holiday cheer to be had!

Top Metro Detroit Outdoor Christmas Light Displays

(For a safe way to celebrate…in 2020 and every year)

Decorating our own homes can be a great way to spread the joy and light of the season.  However, going over the top with outdoor lights can be pricey and even dangerous if you don’t follow proper electrical safety guidelines.  So, we’ve rounded up a few places in the metro Detroit area where you can see some fantastic displays of lights while staying socially distanced and without needing to remember how many strands of lights you have plugged into one outlet.  Win-win!

Greenfield Village Holiday Nights

Located at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, this event has become a must-do for many metro Detroiters.  This year, mask up and see what all of the fuss is about.

Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo

The Detroit Zoo, found in Royal Oak, MI, is lit up during the holiday season with over 5 million lights.  While you won’t see any of the zoo’s animal residents during this event, you will be amazed by the beautiful lighted creations.

Magic of Lights

This drive through light spectacular can be found at many locations across the country, including at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI.  Staying in you car is the perfect way to stay warm and socially distanced.  Don’t forget to bring the hot chocolate!

The Big Bright Light Show 

A metro-Detroit holiday classic–when Main Street in Rochester bedecks itself for the holiday season.  Spend some time strolling up and down the street in downtown Rochester admiring the brightly lit storefronts.  You can even pop in to some stores for last minute shopping deals–mask on, of course.

Lights on the Lake

One home in Lake Orion has gone above and beyond with a spectacular display of lights on their own home and front lawn.  Tune your radio to 91.3 FM to listen to music timed with the light presentation.
