The County switches on the holiday lights in Paris Lions Park with a kickoff on November 20, and the park stays lit every night through December.
It is a free, low-key evening walk in Paris that fits around bedtimes, and the Lions Club of Paris, the main sponsor, keeps the park glowing all month.
Parent tip: Pair a walk through the park with a stop downtown on Grand River Street, where the Cobblestone Commons tree is lit for the season.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
