Drive-thru lights show at Eloise
By Sarah Shurge – A high-tech drive-thru lights show “MI Bright Lights” awaits you at Eloise.
“While Eloise is best known for bringing the scary during the Halloween season, we are excited to embrace the merry with our first-of-its-kind, for our venue, holiday light show,” said John Hambrick, Eloise Hospital owner and MI Bright Lights co-owner.
You can enjoy the 250,000-light show – which is synchronized to a special soundtrack filled with holiday favorites – from the comfort and warmth of your own vehicle.
The experience includes a ¾-mile drive-thru display with a high-tech pixel-based light show synchronized to seasonal music that is accessible by a radio station unique to MI Bright Lights guests.
Each section of the drive-thru captures the essence of the season, featuring a tunnel, a Christmas tree forest, “Candy Cane Lane” (with 14-foot-tall candy canes), and Santa’s Workshop.
In addition to the immersive drive-thru experience, guests can enjoy a skating rink (opened Friday, December 6th), s’mores, hot cocoa, and a 350-foot zip line for purchase. There will also be warming stations, a heated tent, an inflatable putt-putt golf, an interactive North Pole mailbox, complementary photo-op areas, and more. Families can also walk through the newly created Santa Land and meet Santa Claus (photos will be available for purchase).
The new holiday show is co-produced by the Bostick Family, who are nationally renowned for their annual “Bostick Family Light Show” display in Garden City, and have been featured in Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and in People Magazine. “We have had a blast putting on our annual light show over the last four years at our home, and as it has continued to gain popularity, it became quite apparent that we needed a larger venue,” said Kyle Bostick, MI Bright Lights co-owner. “This new space is allowing us to elevate our show to new heights and bring our creative vision to life.”
MI Bright Lights is located at 30712 Michigan Ave, Westland. It opened on Wednesday, November 29th, and will operate daily from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. through Sunday, January 5th, 2025. Santa Land opened on Friday, November 29th and will be open every Friday – Sunday.
