It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Meadow Brook Hall’s annual Holiday Walk will return for the 48th season, bringing unmatched holiday splendor and an enchanting series of events from Friday, Nov. 29 through Monday, Dec. 23.
“Landmark in Lights” features more than 50 glittering trees—including an all-new artist designed ice castle tree and a 10-foot tall Poinsettia tree created by 150 live plants—hundreds of feet of garland and thousands of twinkling lights.
Open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on select evenings, Meadow Brook’s Holiday Walk takes visitors through the grand rooms and grounds of the National Historic Landmark decked in opulent holiday decorations, including Knole Cottage and Danny’s Cabin.
The Final Weekend of festivities takes on a magical new atmosphere with a visit from Santa and two of his live reindeer! Guests will also have the chance to see the lights at night, while warming themselves by the bonfire and sipping seasonal adult beverages until 8 p.m.
