They do seem to be a lot more common now, although I’m not sure we still do. Boston had a fantastic one for many years, traditionally put on by a major retailer, but that’s been in flux for a couple decades now and I don’t even know whether it still exists

I most recently went to one in Detroit. It was small but reasonably well done. Most importantly it highlighted a part of downtown that has been mostly rebuilt, revitalized. Of course it can never come close to Frankenmuth
