Detroit welcomed the holiday season with a spectacular celebration during the 22nd annual Detroit Tree Lighting event, held in Campus Martius Park. The event, sponsored by the DTE Energy Foundation, brought together community members and local leaders to mark the festive occasion.
One of the highlights of the evening was the electrifying performance by country artist Breland, known for his chart-topping hit “My Truck.” The New Jersey native has made waves in the music industry with his unique blend of country and hip-hop, captivating the audience with his energetic stage presence and catchy melodies.
Christina Bachmann from MGM Grand Detroit expressed her enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing the casino’s role as a proud sponsor of the main stage. “We are thrilled to be part of such a cherished Detroit tradition,” Bachmann noted. “Our partnership with this event showcases our commitment to supporting the community and celebrating the holiday spirit.”
Matt Buckley, the president of MGM Grand Detroit and a board member of the Downtown Detroit Partnership, also highlighted the significance of the event. “The tree lighting is not just a celebration of the holidays; it’s a time for Detroiters to come together and create lasting memories,” Buckley remarked.
The night concluded with the grand illumination of the Christmas tree, a sight that truly encapsulates the warmth and joy of the season, setting the tone for a festive holiday period in downtown Detroit.
