A Rochester, Michigan woman @Christinaam13 and her grandmother are going viral on TikTok after getting matching tattoos at American Pride Tattoos in honor of her 90th birthday.

For 2022, the safari-themed ice sculptures lined the streets and featured an ice carving competition, live carvings, marshmallow roasting, shopping, fireworks and of course, The Big, Bright Light Show.

The Big Bright Light Show is something that was dreamed up in Rochester, Michigan and every year it brings tens of thousands of people downtown for one of the biggest light shows in the country, and it is only a 2 hour 15 minute drive from Kalamazoo.
