Noel Night 2026
The Detroit Historical Society throws a holiday evening on Saturday, December 5, from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Detroit Historical Museum on Woodward Avenue in Detroit. Expect a Thanksgiving parade exhibit, SantaBears, live music and a dance party, and admission is free.
In the interactive This Is 100: America’s Thanksgiving Parade exhibition, you can see festive artifacts from the Parade Company archives and the Detroit Historical Society collection. It covers the stories behind parade traditions, giant balloons and marching bands.
The SantaBears exhibition looks back at the holiday bears Dayton Hudson introduced in 1985. The Holiday Crafts Corner has a holiday craft and SantaBear coloring sheets. Detroit's own Velvet Carolers perform, then DJ Lexy spins classic funk and soul all night at the dance party in the Gallery of Culture.
Hot chocolate and donuts are available while supplies last, and the Museum Store has holiday gifts. It's an evening for all ages.
