20th Annual Detroit Tree Lighting
November 17, 2023
YOUR HOLIDAY STARTS HERE!
Mark your calendars for the Detroit Tree Lighting on Friday, Nov. 17, at the award-winning Campus Martius Park presented by Downtown Detroit Partnership and DTE Energy Foundation. “Merry & Bright: 20 Years of Holiday Lights” — the 20th-anniversary special edition of this free annual Detroit event to kick off the holiday season — will feature stellar performances by Olympic figure skaters, the best skaters in metro Detroit and live musical acts, holiday shopping, food trucks, unique lighting attractions across the downtown and more!
.
The Detroit tradition will center around a Michigan-grown Norway spruce decked with ornaments and illuminated by thousands of shimmering LED multi-colored lights – after a countdown by Santa. WXYZ-TV Channel 7 will also once again serve as the official broadcast station of the annual Detroit Tree Lighting ceremony, broadcasting complete coverage of the event during a one-hour live special, “Light Up the Season,” beginning at 7 p.m.
