In 2025, Dearborn Wanderlights debuted as a premier holiday attraction, drawing thousands of visitors from across metro Detroit. Anchored by large-scale, interactive light installations created by artists from across the globe, the project launched a new tradition blending public art, community celebration, and economic opportunity.
Just before Thanksgiving, Dearborn will kick off the holidays at PEACE Park West by transforming the park into a dazzling experience with thousands of lights, live performances, festive treats, Santa’s first appearance of the season, and the ceremonial lighting of Dearborn’s 32 ft. Christmas tree.
