Kick off the holiday season with Canton’s annual Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration which will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, at the Summit on the Park, located at 46000 Summit Parkway, Canton, MI, 48188.
Join in the free festivities from 6:00-8:30 p.m., as Santa and his reindeer make a special stop in Canton. Starting outside at 6:00 p.m., enjoy holiday carols, watch Santa’s arrival, and countdown to the official lighting of the tree, which will be held outside the Summit’s Banquet Center Entrance. Additional outside activities include up-close and personal visits with real live reindeer, as well as ice sculpting demonstrations.
