It’s time to light up Metro Detroit and officially kick off the holiday season! We proudly present to you the 2020 guide for tree lightings in + around Detroit. This year, many cities are opting for virtual events where you can watch the lighting from the comfort of your own home. Whether you head out to see the lights, or watch virtually and turn on your own lights, these events are sure to bring holiday cheer to last through the end of the year.
Please note that due to COVID-19 and the statewide pause that went into effect recently, many events are still updating. While we try to keep our guides up-to-date, event details may change or be cancelled. Please check with the linked webpages and host cities to confirm event details.
