Five dollars a car. Nothing else is close.The Wayne County Lightfest drives five miles through Hines Park, entering at 7651 N Merriman Rd in Westland, 2.5 miles south of I-96, and it is in its 33rd year. Admission is 5 dollars a car. For comparison, the other drive-throughs within reach of Ann Arbor run 37 and 32 dollars, so this is the one to pick when the point is an hour out of the house rather than a big night.The 2026 season runs 19 November to 24 December, Wednesday through Sunday, 6pm to 10pm, with two bonus nights on Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 December. Commercial vans, RVs and limos are 20 dollars, a 20-passenger minibus is 25, a 40-plus bus is 50.Tickets cost the same bought at the gate as prepaid, so there is no advantage to booking ahead.
