It’s a Festivus miracle!

Tickets for the D-Tours usually sell out quickly, but, by some divine act, there are still a few tickets left! Hakuna Matata all night long as you travel magic school bus style to some of the Motor City’s hidden and not-so-hidden gems. There will be four stops along the way for our guests to imbibe.

The WindsorEats D-Tour, (get it? detour?) will allow easy access for you to visit some iconic local hangouts in Detroit without the need to drive, allowing you time to focus on a good time.

The tour will start at 6:30 p.m and bring you back to Windsor at approximately midnight.

The bars are a secret and there’s a karaoke machine on the bus. Ya, we went there. Tickets are $40 per person.

BRIGHT LIGHTS
Starting December 7, 2018


Bright Lights Windsor is back to entertain families young and old alike.
This year, there’s three times more illumination and four times more displays; a holiday market with artisans, food and entertainment; and the pathways lined with thousands of lights have all been paved. So, our tradition has been improved.

The festivities are every night from 5:30pm to 10:00pm beginning December 7 through to January 6 at Jackson Park in Windsor, Ontario. The Opening Lighting Ceremony will take place December 7 at 6:30pm.

If you haven’t heard, WindsorEats will be on site every Friday and Saturday in December cooking up some gourmet waffles on a stick. Flavours will rotate each weekend.
