While this post is mostly a reminder to myself to not miss some my favorite holiday events, it’s also a post for folks in west metro Detroit who are looking for family-friendly holiday activities.
However you celebrate the end-of-year holidays, you might enjoy some of the activities, music, and outdoor fun happening before the end of 2025.

December 13, 2025: Christmas Tinsel, Lights and Delights! in Canton, Michigan
Celebrate the season at Canton Concert Band’s annual Christmas concert, held at the Village Theater in Cherry Hill Village. I’ve attended the concert for several years and always enjoy it!
A special holiday visitor always makes a special appearance. Concert begins at 7PM; tickets are $12-$14 dollars.
Might make sense to get tickets early; it’s a popular event for families.
