Meadow Brook Holiday Walk

It’s the most wonderful time of year! The Holidays at Meadow Brook will dazzle with two breathtaking holiday events—the 50th anniversary of the annual Holiday Walk and debut of the all-new Winter Wonder Lights. By day, the beloved annual Holiday Walk transports visitors through the historic mansion decked in shimmering splendor, while Winter Wonder Lights transforms the estate at night into a breathtaking light show featuring music, concessions and holiday magic. 

Located in Rochester on the campus of Oakland University, Meadow Brook Hall will be Michigan’s most incredible holiday entertainment destination from Friday, Nov. 26 through Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021.
