Follow the Blue Line North: 1 • Buckle up, a bunch of lights you're about to see, Willkommen to Frankenmuth, greets you first with glee! 2 • The deer on your left and elk on your right, are your second views for this drive tonight. 3 • As you gaze upon the World's Largest Christmas Store, be prepared, ahead there's so much more! 4 • Remember Hansel and Gretel, and their story? To the left, you'll see them all lit up in their glory! 5 • As you travel up Main Street, notice the beautifully lit trees as far as you can see, with a few pops of color added for glee. 6 • At the Visitor Center, on the right is the Spectacular Christmas tree. All 23,000 lights, sing and dance for you to see. 7 • Keep heading north on Main Street and up the hill, to the top. On your right, you'll see a train, a pyramid, and the soldiers of Santa's Toy Shop. 8 • Up next, on your left you'll see a snowflake or two. And if you're good, maybe Santa will bring a new Buick for you! 9 • Up the road in the Farmers Market parking lot, check out the Christmas pyramid. It's the perfect photo spot! 10 • Now to your left at Frankenmuth Credit Union you'll see on display Santa and his reindeer flying in a sleigh! 11 • Keep heading north and an Alpine Village you'll see from your car. If you reach the North Pole, you've driven too far. Time to Turn Around. There's Still A Lot to See in Town. Follow the Red Line to Work Your Way Down! 12 • Turn right on Roedel and turn around at Uptown North Main. Now Koester Drive to Franklin south to see more lights from your lane. 13 • On your right you'll spot a bear and on your left you'll be reminded that winter is here. Hopefully seeing these lights will bring you some cheer. The next part of your drive may be a little dark, until you see the lights that are in the park. 14 • Left on Tuscola and a right turn into the boat launch we go. How many ducks do you see in a row? 15 • The journey continues to Block Road then left on Genesee. At the school bus garage how many gnomes do you see? 16 • Still traveling west, Frankenmuth Insurance is just ahead. Their gardens are lit up in many colors, do you see green or red? 17 • At the corner of South Dehmel Road, take a look. The story of this scene is found in the chapter Luke of the Big Book. 18 • Left on West Tuscola onto St. Lorenz. Founded in 1845, even before the City, look at the white steeple. Isn't it pretty? 19 • Turn onto Gunzenhausen and look to your right, you'll see Bethlehem all lit up in white. 20 • The Frankenmuth Ice Rink is ahead of you. If you haven't yet, tighten up your skates for a lap or two! 21 • Over the Main Street Bridge to Flint Street, your journey is not done. First, you must see some skaters out having fun! 22 • Now left onto Jefferson, you'll find Frosty the Jolly Happy Soul. Sing the lyrics now as you continue your stroll. 23 • Turn right, then on the left take a peep. What's your favorite? The sparkling lights or that pretty new Jeep? 24 • Do you have a favorite Christmas song? Sing it now, and the bears on your left may sing along! 25 • The tour is now over, but not without one more sight. Look for the 17ft Santa standing tall on your right.
