Christmas at the Lighthouse

By Jamie Kauffold | Nov. 29, 2025

See the Grand Traverse Lighthouse all dressed up for Christmas at the Holiday Lights Hike at Leelanau State Park campground and around the lighthouse, Dec. 5-6 from 5-8pm. New this year is Santa’s Workshop in the Fog Signal Building, where kids can make crafts to take home, as well as the “Parade of Trees” throughout the property and historic buildings. Tickets are $10 adults, $5 children, and $25 for a family of four (includes 3D glasses!) at mynorthtickets.com/events/holiday-lights-hike-12-5-2025.
