Are you permitted to drive your own T in Greenfield Village? Is that only during the once a year festival parade? Where do I find the details?

You can only drive your T in the village during the Old Cars Festival. Check the Village website in March or April, and when the participant registration opens (June 1st, usually) send in your info. Registration goes quickly, as only a set amount of cars can participate.

You can drive your T to and from the village before and after the OCF, and all over the village during both days (Saturday and Sunday) of the event. The parade (Pass in Review) is at 1:00 PM Saturday, and you can drive your car in it or not, as you wish. Saturday night folks drive around with their lights on, and you can see which lighting systems are well maintained. I drove modern to Detroit in 2017, and OCF was so great that I drove my 1915 there in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. If you want to participate, email THF in May and have them send you an application you can submit as soon as they open on June 1. By the end of June you'll know if you're in.
