Albion Aglow – Times Two

By John Face

November 7, 2025

Thursday, November 13

This year, the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce has split its annual event into two separate days. The first will be Thursday night, November 13, 2025. The following is from the Chamber press Release from their social media:

Join us for a very MAGICAL evening of holiday lights, carriage rides (FREE), and shopping on Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 4 – 7 p.m. in downtown Albion, Michigan. The official Albion Aglow Lighting Ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. at Bournelis Park (intersection of Cass & Superior Street). Albion Aglow’s 2025 theme is The North Pole!

The Greater Albion Chamber is excited to invite you to a much brighter Albion Aglow as we kick-off this year’s Albion Aglow Schedule of Events next week! The official Lighting Ceremony consisting of Albion’s cherished snowflakes, garland and Christmas Tree will be joined by even more lights and garland along with two NEW Holiday Light Displays. This year’s new Light Displays consist of a 7ft. Holiday Wreath in which we encourage families to capture memories with this season (located at 403 S. Superior Street) and a 5 ft. Lighted Ornament at Mulder Park. Plus, there will be additional holiday lights added prior to the Albion Aglow parade scheduled for Friday, December 5, 2025 (see separate event page for details).

Friday, December 5

The Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau invites the community and visitors to “The North Pole” during this year’s Albion Aglow Parade presented by Ford BlueOval Battery Park MI on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.

The Greater Albion Chamber encourages attendees to support and shop local during this year’s Albion Aglow Schedule of Events by dining at one of our local restaurants, checking off items from your holiday shopping list by shopping (or purchasing gift cards) with one of our local retailers, enjoying live music, and meeting with Santa Claus at Kids ‘N’ Stuff Children’s Museum following the parade.
