Local Light the Night

Join the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau as we celebrate our annual Local Light the Night event!

Here you will experience the magic of community and Christmas on an evening especially dedicated to our locals. On ice entertainment, including figure skating performances from Sk8 Bay Skating Club, the Midland Skating Club, and the Figure Skating Club of Birmingham. The FNV Griffins Hockey team will also be in attendance, repping their team and displaying their skills!

Get in the Christmas spirit while the Frankenmuth High School Jazz Band plays festive tunes, and stick around for Public skate to open following the program. Enjoy free cookies and hot cocoa. Spiked Hot Cocoa, Beer, and Wine will also be available for purchase.

The traditional candlewalk will follow the on-ice programming at 7:00 PM. Candles will be passed out at the Ice Rink, and staff will come around to light everyone's candle before our journey begins. A wonderful new addition of lanterns celebrates our town's German Heritage.

If you want to join in on the fun, you can make your own lantern for the Candlewalk at one of these two opportunities:

• Wednesday, November 12th, from 5:00-7:00 PM at Fischer Hall in Frankenmuth. Cost is $4 to participate, but the first 25 are free! This event is hosted by the Frankenmuth Historical Museum.
• Sunday, November 16th, from 3:00-5:00 PM at the City Training Center. Cost is $4 to participate, but the first 25 are free! This event is hosted by the Sister City Committee.

The fun continues after the candlewalk ends at the Chamber Platz, where the reading of the Christmas Story by local clergy and Christmas Carols led by a local choir group will take place in front of the spectacular Christmas Tree.

The tree lighting at 7:30 PM will signify the beginning of the local Christmas season!
