Red Wings Celebrate Centennial Season with Hockey Exhibition and Downtown Detroit's Holiday Spirit Returns
As the Red Wings prepare to celebrate its 100th season, the Detroit Historical Museum is throwing it back to a century of Motor City hockey. A new multi-media exhibition now on display features rare artifacts, legendary player uniforms, and audio-visual clips of the team's most iconic moments. This extensive show also explores the histories of other prominent pro hockey teams in the city, including the Detroit Falcons and the Detroit Cougars.
If you're a fan of hockey or simply want to experience some of Detroit's rich sports history, head over to the Detroit Historical Museum, located at 5401 Woodward Ave., to explore this fascinating exhibition from Thursday through November 2024. Tickets range in price from $8 to $15.
On another note, the Detroit Institute of Arts has welcomed its first major Native American exhibition in 30 years - "Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation" - which is now open for viewing. On November 20th, a lecture on Indigenous art will be given by Pueblo and Anishinaabe artist Kathleen Wall at the DIA's Lecture Hall. In her presentation, Wall shares insights into growing up between two distinct cultural worlds – one shaped by assimilation pressures and another rooted in traditional Pueblo traditions.
The Detroit Institute of Arts is located at 5200 Woodward Ave., with a lecture starting at 6 p.m. The event is free to attend, provided you have registered beforehand.
In the heart of downtown Detroit, the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony is about to take place on November 20th. Downtown will sparkle as it showcases its festive charm for all to enjoy. Expect performances by multi-platinum country artist BRELAND and pop singer Natalie Jane alongside Olympic-level ice skaters Polina Edmunds, Emmanuel Savary, Khloe Felton, and local skating talent. Additional highlights include giveaways, holiday shopping, and over a million twinkling lights throughout downtown.
In addition, The Rink at Campus Martius Park will host its grand opening on the weekend of November 21st and 22nd. Admission is free but organizers encourage guests to bring new gloves to support Mittens for Detroit, a local nonprofit that provides warmth to needy individuals in Detroit.
The Schvitz Health Club will be celebrating the music of George Harrison through the screening of "Concert for Bangladesh" followed by a live performance featuring Detroit musicians playing songs from the concert and other iconic tracks. Tickets range from $25 for the concert alone to $60 for the concert along with access to The Schvitz's historic saunas.
Last but not least, Insane Clown Posse is organizing a charity wrestling event on November 22nd at Harpos that aims to give away Thanksgiving turkeys while raising funds for local families in need.

! My kids are huge hockey fans and I know they'd love the new exhibition at the Detroit Historical Museum 
️. It's always amazing to see how sports can bring communities together, especially for families who've been following their favorite team for generations 
. The Detroit Institute of Arts exhibit on Native American art is also really interesting - my daughter was fascinated by the Anishinaabe culture and I loved seeing her connection to it 
. And can't wait for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony downtown, we always have so much fun with our friends and family 
!
. and downtown Detroit is all lit up with holiday cheer, because who needs an actual winter when you can just decorate everything? 
on a more serious note tho, it's actually pretty cool that the Detroit Historical Museum is doing this hockey exhibition...i mean, it's not like we don't have enough sports history or anything 
. and btw, I'm really stoked for the Native American exhibit at the DIA...Kathleen Wall is a total inspiration, btw 
.
! A century of hockey in Detroit? That's amazing! The new exhibition at the Detroit Historical Museum sounds like a must-visit for any hockey fan or history buff. And can we talk about how excited I am for the holiday season in downtown Detroit?! 
. Plus, The Rink at Campus Martius Park is opening up with free admission (just don't forget those mittens 
) and Insane Clown Posse's charity wrestling event sounds like a blast. Can't wait for all these awesome events to go down! 
On a more serious note (just kidding, not really), it's awesome that the Detroit Institute of Arts is showcasing Native American art and the Insane Clown Posse is hosting a charity wrestling event. Keep it Detroit, keep it awesome! 
It's going to be epic! Downtown will be decked out in all its festive finery - who needs a trip to NYC when you've got Detroit's holiday cheer? 
It's awesome that they're raising funds for local families in need - that's what it's all about.
The Christmas tree lighting ceremony is going to be lit 
Ugh, just saw the new exhibition at the Detroit Historical Museum and it's all about the Red Wings... again. Like, can't they think of something else to do with their centennial season? And $8 to $15 for tickets? That's way too expensive! I'm a huge hockey fan, but not that much.
, it's gonna be lit downtown Detroit with all the holiday festivities 
- that Anishinaabe art exhibit is really interesting, especially when it comes to growth up between two worlds 
. And can we talk about how awesome it is that Insane Clown Posse is doing a charity wrestling event to give away turkeys? 
!
I'm really hyped about the Detroit Historical Museum's new hockey exhibition! As a fan of sports history, it's awesome that they're highlighting the Red Wings' 100th season and other notable pro hockey teams in the city. 
. And let's not forget The Rink at Campus Martius Park's grand opening, which is going to be a blast... plus we get to support Mittens for Detroit in the process!
