Entering its fourth year, this interactive holiday extravaganza has something for everyone with expanded indoor and outdoor activities. 

Hickory Corners, Michigan, December 5, 2024 - The Gilmore Car Museum announces today the kick off of the 2024 edition of Winter Wonderland Holiday Extravaganza. This annual event is unlike any other holiday attraction, with a dazzling array of outdoor lighting installations, which includes dynamic programming, motion, animation, and sound. During the holiday season, patrons can enjoy a delightful drive through a dazzling display of lights, all set to festive music and surrounded by cheerful decorations, all from the comfort of their own automobile.

“This is my first Winter Wonderland, so I am also excited to experience it for the first time. I’ve heard many great things about previous editions, and I know how hard our team has worked to bring this year’s edition to life,” said Nick LaCasse, Executive Director of the Gilmore Car Museum. With an enhanced light show and expanded offerings both inside and outside of the Museum, this year’s Winter Wonderland stands to be the best version yet. “Every year you want to improve upon the previous year, and I believe we will be able to do that this year with the addition of some engaging exhibits and additional activities,” added LaCasse. Highlights of Winter Wonderland include: 

  • Christmas through the Decades exhibit
  • Festival of Trees exhibit
  • Great Elf Hunt
  • Live Holiday Music on Friday and Saturday nights
