Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. in Romulus Historical Park on Goddard Road to coincide with the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Holiday train, which will travel east west on the nearby tracks.
The train is expected between 8 and 10 p.m., officials said. The local Girl Scouts will lead the crowd in Christmas carols and the Romulus High School band will perform. There will also be concessions and vendors on hand during the event. While the event is free, audiences are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Stuff the Bus event to benefit the Romulus Helping Hands facility.
Since the Holiday Train program launched in 1999, it has raised more than $21 million and collected 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
