These celebrations help to showcase the wonderful restaurants, local businesses and retail shops – all of which help drive the city’s economy – and brings our community together in a very special way,” said Lynette Dowler, president of the DTE Foundation. “The holiday tree lighting in Detroit has been a hallmark event for the DTE Foundation, and we’re proud to have supported it since day one. It will be decked with ornaments and illuminated by 20,000 dazzling LED multi-colored lights – after a count down by none other than Santa himself. The celebration will center around a Michigan-grown, 65-foot Norway spruce that stands as a holiday beacon for Detroiters and visitors alike in Detroit’s gathering place.
