The City of Macomb is excited to announce the first Lights & Sights Holiday Bus Tour. In an effort to spread holiday cheer to all Macomb residents, the City is partnering with Go-West and the Public Transportation Department to offer a free holiday bus ride through the residential Tour of Lights displays.

This festive inaugural event will be held twice throughout the month of December. The first ride is set for Friday, December 13th, and the second on Friday, December 20th. The bus tour is expected to last approximately an hour and a half. Residents wishing to participate in the Lights & Sights Holiday Bus Tour can board the Go-West Bus at 6:30PM at the City Center.

“We look forward to rolling out this new holiday initiative as a way for our community members, who may be familiar with the Macomb’s public transportation system, to experience some extra Christmas cheer this season” said Savannah Ballard, Marketing and Downtown Development Director. “With the help of the residents who have decorated their homes for the holiday season and submitted their addresses to the Tour of Lights, we have the opportunity to ensure all who want to see the lights, will have the chance to do so” added Ballard.

For families who wish to individually drive through the Tour of Lights, the full list of addresses has been posted to the City of Macomb website: 5th Annual Tour of Lights | City of Macomb. Residents are welcome to drive the tour at any time throughout the holiday season and vote for their favorite display using the following link: https://bit.ly/TourofLightsVoting24.
