These miniature light festivals are a Central Neighborhood tradition that everyone gets to enjoy.

I had been mourning not being able to participate in my normal family holiday traditions the other night when I passed by what looked like a miniature Light Festival. As I kept driving I saw another and was delighted to cruise down it and admire all the glowing decorations strung up from top to bottom. Quietly tucked away in a few Traverse City Central Neighborhood alleyways are stunning displays of Christmas decor. While most folks concentrate on decorating the front of their homes for the holidays, these neighborhood locals got to work on the backside of their homes.
