Holiday trail, tree lighting and more all happening this weekend

Lots to do for all ages in Metro Detroit

We are just a day away from the weekend, and there’s a lot happening around Metro Detroit to get you in a festive mood.

First up, snow may not be on the ground yet, but you can still have a magical winter experience. Glenlore Trails presents its Winter Wonderland Forest Walk, “Aurora.” The one-mile immersive and illuminated walk will feature touch sensitive light installations, holiday sights and sounds, interactive games, and more. This all ages experience opens tomorrow and runs through December 29. Glenlore Trails is located in Commerce Township.

Next, as we continue to celebrate Native American Heritage Month, the city of Farmington Hills is holding a big event. The celebration of Native American Culture will feature a journey through traditional dance, music, storytelling, and more that honors the profound contributions and heritage of Native Americans. Guests will also have a chance to learn about drumming, and other cultural traditions. The event is happening Friday at 7 p.m. at the Hawk in Farmington Hills.

Next, to help you get in a Thanksgiving Day mood. There’s a play coming that’s all about family, food, laughter, and love. “Over The River, and Through the Woods,” is a heartfelt comedy about a hilarious scheme grandparents use to keep their beloved grandson from accepting a job out of state. The play, presented by the Grosse Pointe Theatre runs this Friday through November 24th at Gosse Pointe South High School’s auditorium.

Finally, the city of Wyandotte is kicking off the holiday season. On Friday the city will hold its annual Christmas Tree lighting at 5:30 p.m., then on Saturday, there will be the 81st Christmas parade at 10am. It’s all happening in downtown Wyandotte.
