the Season presented by Citizens Bank
Dearborn,
Mich. – See
why Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village
presented by Citizens Bank continues to be voted a can’t-miss family-friendly event
each year. Tickets are going fast for this authentic and immersive holiday
celebration that continues on Dec. 9-11, 16-18, 20-23 and 26-30 from 6:30
p.m to 10 p.m.
“There is no better way to celebrate the holiday season than with the
sights, sounds and sensations of Greenfield Village,” said Rick Hampson, state
president of Citizens Bank, Michigan. “We are proud to be a part of this
celebration and continue our partnership with The Henry Ford as presenting
sponsor of the 2016 Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village.”
This
unique holiday experience immerses visitors in 300 years of holiday history.
Inside the historic homes, visitors will be welcomed by the smell of evergreen-filled
parlors and freshly baked-holiday treats as presenters bring to life
traditional menu staples.
At Giddings Home, the rich aroma of chocolate will
greet guests as they watch presenters preparing hot cocoa 1700s-style. If the
smells and sights inside the homes work up an appetite, food stations throughout the streets will
be available with hot chocolate, hot apple cider, roasted chestnuts and a roast
beef carving station.

The
sounds of the season will echo through the air as a variety of live performances
take place around every corner including music by the Dodworth Saxhorn Band, ‘Michigan’s
Troubadour’ Neil Woodward and dozens of carolers.
Visitors can grab a pair of
loaner skates or lace up their
own and take a turn or two on the Village’s ice skating rink. After visiting Santa and his reindeer at Robert Frost home,
visitors can climb aboard a horse-drawn carriage or take a ride around in one
of our Model T’s.
At the end of the evening, all are invited to join the
musicians and singers at Town Hall for the lantern procession and fireworks
finale accompanied by a sing-along of favorite holiday carols.
