Detroit, MI 48202
The 38th annual Noel Night takes place Saturday, December 4, 5:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m., in Midtown Detroit's Cultural Center Area. Over 45 institutions open their doors to the public free of charge during this Cultural Center-wide holiday "open house." Activities include horse-drawn carriage rides, holiday shopping, family craft activities and performances by over 70 area music, theatre and dance groups. The evening's festivities culminate with a community sing-along on Woodward Avenue led by the Salvation Army Band — a long-standing Noel Night tradition.
Free shuttle service is offered between participating venues. Convenient parking is available in area lots. Noel Night is produced by the University Cultural Center Association (UCCA), a nonprofit community development organization that supports economic growth in Detroit's Midtown district.
