Lights on Creston will return to the Creston Corridor on Wednesday, Dec. 16, bringing the community together for an evening of holiday festivities, local shopping and neighborhood celebration. 

Launched in 2018, the annual event has become a holiday tradition in Grand Rapids, drawing residents and visitors to explore the businesses, organizations and gathering spaces that make the Creston neighborhood unique. This year's free, family-friendly event will once again activate the entire corridor, with participating businesses and community partners hosting special activities, promotions, and experiences throughout the evening.

“Lights on Creston has become a holiday tradition that brings our community together while highlighting the incredible small businesses, artists and organizations that call this neighborhood home,” said Gregg Hampshire, Corridor Manager for the Creston Corridor Improvement Authority. “It’s an opportunity to support local businesses, connect with neighbors and experience the people and places that make the Creston community thrive year-round.”

Visitors are encouraged to explore the corridor at their own pace with the help of complimentary trolley service running throughout the event. Guests can pick up an event passport, visit participating locations and discover new businesses while enjoying the festive atmosphere that has made Lights on Creston a community favorite.

The evening will feature holiday entertainment and family-friendly activities across the corridor, including visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Kingma’s Market. Their reindeer will be joining them as well, offering families a memorable holiday experience in the heart of the neighborhood.

“Lights on Creston captures what makes this neighborhood special,” said Lizzie Williams, Chair of the Creston Corridor Improvement Authority. “The event brings together businesses, organizations and residents to create a memorable experience for visitors while celebrating the strong sense of community that defines Creston.”
