HOLLY DAZZLE 2026

The HOLLY DAZZLE holiday celebration returns to the grounds of the Michigan Renaissance Festival on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights running from November 27 through December 31, 2026. More than half million twinkling lights illuminate festive holiday scenes, with cheerful games, charming photo opportunities and delightful discoveries along the way. From a family’s first visit with Santa to a romantic evening beneath the lights, Holly Dazzle offers memorable ways to enjoy the holiday season.

Families can enjoy an array of activities included with general admission. Children can sip free hot cocoa, receive a complimentary gift, enjoy free train rides, visit the petting zoo, search for hidden elves in the Elf on the Shelf hunt, create festive crafts and experience magical visits with Santa.

Savory aromas add to the holiday atmosphere, with hearty soups, chili, hot dogs, walking tacos and turkey legs and more available for purchase. Patrons looking for something sweet can indulge in cookies, rich brownies, cannoli and other delicious seasonal treats.

Adults can plan a cozy evening with a five-course igloo dinner or celebrate with a spirited Polar Pub Crawl. Igloos comfortably seat up to four guests, and dinner reservations include general admission to Holly Dazzle. These experiences are available by making reservations.

Adding to the holiday excitement, the Run Run Rudolph 5K Run/Walk takes place Sunday, December 13, at 4 p.m. Participants can run or walk through Holly Dazzle, enjoying sparkling lights and festive surroundings along the way. Registration includes a Holly Dazzle admission ticket, a custom long-sleeve shirt, a finisher medal and more.
