Starry Lights is an outdoor winter attraction, featuring an immersive and interactive light display on the grounds of the estate. Visitors will walk through the historic estate’s pathways to experience a wintry starry-sky themed show, featuring projected animations, interactive light features, and even vintage home videos of Edsel and Eleanor’s family in wintertime projected onto the facade of the Fords’ home.
Snacks and warm beverages will be available from on-site concession stands.
“This has been an exciting year for Ford House with the opening of our 40,000-square-foot Visitor Center, which also includes The Continental restaurant. Starry Lights is the next big thing for our visitors. We wanted to provide a special holiday experience that was both cutting edge and nostalgic,” said Mark J. Heppner, Ford House President & CEO. “Starry Lights is a safe, fun outdoor light experience designed to celebrate the holidays with exploration, beauty, and awe.”
The Starry Lights experience is produced by Wixom, Mich.-based Bluewater Technologies Group, who was responsible for the Glenore Trails light walk in Commerce Township.
