I love the holidays in Detroit!

treeThe annual tree lighting ceremony in Campus Martius Park was the perfect way to welcome in the holidays. The city was alive with Christmas music, ice skaters and of course the beautiful tree.

This year I was able to watch the parade from the warm fourth floor of my host company’s (Marketing Associates) office building.

I’m excited to celebrate the holidays in Detroit and continue to check off things on my to-do list:

  • Ice skate in Campus Martius
  • Noel Night
  • Shopping! There are a bunch of new pop-up retail spots on my walk home from work that will definitely help with Christmas shopping this year.
  • New Years Eve celebrations
