Detroit Tree
Lighting Ceremony

The 23rd annual Detroit Tree Lighting Ceremony kicks off the holiday season at Campus Martius Park in Downtown Detroit. Produced by the Downtown Detroit Partnership, the festivities center on a towering Michigan-grown spruce illuminated by thousands of shimmering multicolored lights after a countdown with Santa. The evening features live musical performances, figure skating shows, visits from Santa, food trucks, and festive entertainment. Admission is free.
