Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village 2026: member tickets go on sale Oct. 28, public tickets Nov. 4
DEARBORN, Mich. — If Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village is on your December list, mark two dates now: Wednesday, Oct. 28, when members can buy tickets, and Wednesday, Nov. 4, when sales open to the public.
The Henry Ford says buyers can join an online waiting room at 8:30 a.m. on both days, with sales starting at 9 a.m. Tickets can also be bought by phone at 313-982-6001 or at any open ticket window on site. The museum warns that Holiday Nights products sell quickly and are often gone before the season starts.
This year's event runs Dec. 3-6, 10-13, 17-23 and 26-28, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Members get in early at 6 p.m. Entry isn't timed; guests can arrive any time until 9:45 p.m.
Admission covers carousel rides, ice skating with skate rental, Model T rides, horse-drawn wagon rides, carolers, artisan demonstrations, a holiday greens and tree market, and the fireworks finale and sing-along that closes each night. Members save 15% on admission.
New for 2026, the village will open the Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home decorated for Christmas 1965, with presenters in period dress and holiday cooking demonstrations. It will also be the first home in Greenfield Village with exterior Christmas lights, The Henry Ford says.
Three dinner packages include admission and are sold only online or by phone, not on site: Supper with Santa, Holiday Nights at Eagle Tavern, and the Mummers' Dinner at Stand 44 for guests 21 and older. Members can also add a $5 shuttle from the Village Road lot.
The event is held rain or shine and is canceled only for severe weather, with no refunds for bad weather. Parking is in the West Lot off Oakwood Boulevard and the East Lot off Village Road.
