Thousands celebrate the holidays and Detroit at 21st annual Light up the Season
Finally, the holiday season is in full swing after we helped light the Detroit Christmas tree on Friday night! More than 100,000 people gathered in Downtown Detroit on Friday for the tree lighting.
“I've never seen a tree being lit, so it was my first time," said Morgan Meirelles from Rochester. "It was beautiful, I mean the tree is perfect. What more could you ask for?”
“It's bigger than I thought it was going to be," Martin Emery said of the event. "It's almost like New Year's Eve here.”
Emery is from Lake City and drove from Up North, Just like the tree itself, which he and his team at Dutchman Tree Farm supplied from Manton.
"I drive around looking for these things... You drive around, keep your eyes peeled looking for the right height,” explained Emery. "I'm humbled. Again I love the people, this is all for them.”

"There’s just such an energy, you don't get that from your TV," said Gross. "You can’t feel it, you can't feel this.”
