Michigan’s biggest tree lighting is back — free and open to the public. A towering 70-foot Michigan-grown Norway spruce with 25,000 LED lights takes center stage in Campus Martius Park, surrounded by more than one million sparkling lights, live entertainment, Olympic figure skaters, food trucks and festive activities. WDIV Local 4 airs a two-hour live special from 7 p.m. Last year’s celebration drew more than 120,000 people downtown.
