Arbor Woods Apartments has collected a list of seasonal events and activities to help you get out of the house and engage with your neighborhood. Read on to learn how you can make the most of the winter season. 

What Makes Livonia Great in Winter

Cold weather can be a drag, but you don’t have to let it slow you down! In Livonia and the surrounding communities, we make the most of the season with an array of activities that will carry you into the new year and beyond. 

Opportunities to Connect with Neighbors

Residents of Livonia love to get out of the house and enjoy the season with new and old traditions alike. Ring in the new year with friends and neighbors at the Kirksey Recreation Center New Year’s Eve party. Or, take part in seasonal concerts, theater productions, and lectures hosted by the Livonia Public Library. The Library also offers the opportunity to meet new people through activities by hosting events like adult board game nights! 

From holiday parades and tree lightings to Mardi Gras festivities and bar crawls, you can find even more upcoming opportunities to make friends on the city’s calendar of events. 

Discover Nearby Events & Attractions

Livonia’s central location gives residents easy access to plenty of cultural attractions without having to travel into Detroit. 

Downtown Plymouth offers a full calendar of winter events, from parades and markets to the famous Plymouth Ice Festival that kicks off the beginning of every year. And if you need a place to warm up between outings, there’s always the Plymouth Historical Museum to visit. 

In lovely Northville, visitors can regularly find theater and comedy performances, mixers, walking tours, and interesting lectures. And winter at historic  Mill Race Village is a picturesque sight to behold. Check out the Northville calendar of events to see what’s going on now. 

In February, keep your eyes on Downtown Farmington for fun events like their Hot Cocoa Crawl where you’re sure to meet exciting new friends. 

And don’t forget to check out live music events like Sunday R&B Brunch at Views Bar and Grill. 

Located conveniently close to I-275, Arbor Woods Apartments provides perfect access to these communities without putting you too close to the noise and bustle of traffic. Our residents enjoy living within walking distance of Newburgh Lake and a convenient variety of local stores and restaurants. 

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

The fresh winter air and the sight of snow on the ground are great reasons to get outside and make the most of the season! Livonia is full of beautiful parks, nature preserves, and walking trails that make it easy to enjoy nature year-round. 

For truly athletic citizens, or people who want to put themselves to the test, there are often some brisk winter races to join such as the Winter Trail Fest in nearby Brighton. Check local events listings to see a list of upcoming bike and foot races throughout the year. 

While we’ve collected some perfect hiking opportunities to keep you active this winter, we also know you’ll want to make the most of the cold by going skating and sledding.

Locals will be familiar with Eddie Edgar Ice Arena and Devonaire Ice Arena, but perhaps the most exciting place to skate is the Outdoor Ice Rink at Greenmead park. You can go with friends, family, or even a date. And don’t forget about Greenmead’s fantastic sledding hill for both the young and the young at heart.
