The holidays in Detroit have a special kind of magic, especially when it comes to the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. This year, I had the pleasure of experiencing this enchanting event firsthand, and I’m thrilled to share the experience with you. Can you believe I’ve lived here 15 years and I’ve never been before now?
A Pine Tree Awaiting Its Sparkle
As I approached the venue, the giant pine tree stood tall and proud, its branches reaching out, as if in anticipation of the festive lights soon to adorn it. Standing in front of it, I felt a wave of holiday spirit wash over me. It was a reminder of the joy and warmth the season brings, even before the lights twinkled on.
The Anticipation of Magic
There’s something uniquely exciting about the moments before the tree lights up. People gather, wrapped in their warmest winter gear, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights and the promise of the upcoming spectacle. Children laugh, vendors sell hot cocoa, and there’s a buzz in the air that’s almost palpable.

As I captured the moment, I knew the transformation from an unlit tree to a luminous beacon of the holiday season would be breathtaking.
