Elmwood Alight washes the 180‑year‑old grounds in light, with site‑specific works by Metro Detroit artists curated by Playground Detroit, sound and music stations, plus beer, wine, and light refreshments. It’s not timed—arrive anytime and wander at your own pace. New this year: behind‑the‑scenes and history tours, and a golf‑cart shuttle loop for guests who need assistance.

Gates open 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Last entry 9:30 p.m.; gates close 10 p.m. Guided tours start 7 p.m. Fri & Sat. Admission: General Admission $25 (kids under 10 free); Premium $35 (two for $65); VIP $95; drink tickets $12 add‑on; guided tours $10 per person.
