Detroit Christmas Tree Lighting 2025. We will light the world’s tallest red kettle’s 26,000 led lights while the salvation army’s divisional brass band brings holiday musical entertainment. On christmas eve, the tree is lit for 24 hours and on new year’s eve it is lit from 5am to 9pm.

This year’s tree comes from manton, a small. Tune in to 87.9fm when arriving and turn off your headlights to get the full experience.
