The holiday season kicks off tonight at 7 in Detroit when the city’s Christmas tree lights up for the first time.
Scripps-owned ABC affiliate WXYZ will broadcast complete coverage of the event during a live special, Light Up the Season.
Light Up the Season will be streamed live on wxyz.com and on the WXYZ Facebook page.
“The tree lighting celebration showcases the beauty of our city, said Mike Murri, WXYZ’s general manager, “and brings together families from across Metro Detroit. We’re proud to partner with the Downtown Detroit Partnership for this wonderful holiday tradition.”
This is the 14th consecutive year for the Downtown Detroit Partnership’s annual tree lighting ceremony. The centerpiece of this year’s event is a Michigan-grown, 60-foot Norwegian Spruce, that will be decked out with more than 19,000 multicolored lights and ornaments.
The tree lighting is expected to draw more than 40,000 people to the area surrounding Campus Martius Park, Detroit’s meeting place.
