The sounds of the holidays can be heard on nearly every corner with live performances by the Dodworth Saxhorn Band, 'Michigan's Troubadour' Neil Woodward, Wassail Winds and dozens of carolers. Guests can take in the smells and tastes of the season at our food stations complete with hot chocolate and hot apple cider, roasted chestnuts and a roast beef carving station. Santa will be posted at Robert Frost home with his trusty reindeer. After taking a ride aboard a horse-drawn carriage or a Model T, guests can lace up a pair of loaner skates for ice skating in the Village's rink. Coming to the close of the evening, guests are invited to join the grand finale as carolers lead a festive sing-along complete with a fireworks finale at 9:40 pm on the Village Green.
