Treat yourself to this unique production in Portland's Historic Downtown District. Downtown takes on a life of it's own Friday nights from 7-9pm as 3 blocks of commercial buildings have lights dancing to music with a 25 minute revolving production. Shows change weekly.
Actually, every evening is impressive simply for the extent of the lights themselves. Stop by for dinner and a little shopping, take in the lighted sparkle that adds warmth and charm to winter in MI.
