Metro Detroit is abuzz with exciting events this week, from hockey to holiday cheer. The city's rich history and vibrant culture are on full display.
First up, the Detroit Historical Museum is celebrating a century of Motor City hockey. The museum's latest exhibition, "A Century of Hockey," features rare artifacts, iconic uniforms, and nostalgic audio-visual content showcasing the Red Wings' greatest moments. This must-see event is a tribute to the city's beloved hockey team, which has been thrilling fans for over 100 years.
Visitors can explore the exhibition across three galleries at the museum, where they'll also find nods to other local hockey teams, including the Detroit Falcons and Cougars. With tickets available from $8-$15, this event is a treat for sports enthusiasts of all ages.
If you're looking for something more contemporary, head to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) on Thursday, November 20th, where artist Kathleen Wall will deliver a powerful lecture on Indigenous art. The DIA's latest exhibit, "Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation," marks the museum's first major Native American exhibition in 30 years and is one of the largest such presentations in the Midwest.
The lecture takes place at 6 p.m. at the DIA's Lecture Hall, where attendees can enjoy an evening of art, culture, and storytelling. Tickets are free with registration, making this event a great opportunity to learn about Indigenous art and culture.
As the holiday season kicks off, downtown Detroit will sparkle once again with its annual Christmas tree lighting. The festive celebration features live music by BRELAND, Natalie Jane, Polina Edmunds, Emmanuel Savary, Khloe Felton, and local skating talents, along with giveaways and twinkling lights throughout the city. Admission is free, but organizers encourage attendees to bring a pair of new gloves for Mittens for Detroit, a local nonprofit that provides warm clothing to those in need.
The holiday fun continues on Saturday, November 22nd, when The Rink at Campus Martius Park opens its doors. Visitors can enjoy ice skating, shopping, and plenty of holiday cheer without an admission fee. Just be sure to bring a pair of new gloves for Mittens for Detroit!
Last but not least, Detroit's Schvitz health club is celebrating George Harrison's music with a special screening of the legendary "Concert for Bangladesh" film. The event features a live performance by local musicians playing songs from the concert and across Harrison's iconic catalog. Guests can enjoy à la carte dining during the film and optional access to The Schvitz's historic saunas (6-10 p.m.) for an additional fee, with proceeds benefiting Thrive, which supports meal programs for schoolchildren in Bangladesh and the Philippines.
The screening takes place on Saturday, November 22nd, at 6 p.m., followed by a live performance at 8 p.m. Tickets are available for $25 or $60, which includes access to The Schvitz's historic saunas.
Insane Clown Posse fans won't want to miss the duo's 32nd annual Hallowicked show on Halloween. This year's event takes place at Detroit's Masonic Temple and promises a stellar lineup of music and entertainment. The Wicked Clowns Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope will take the stage, along with other local talent.
Last but not least, Higher Hopes nonprofit organization is hosting a free televised wrestling event featuring Insane Clown Posse's LUNACY series at Harpos on Saturday, November 22nd. The event also distributes Thanksgiving turkeys to those in need on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last.

Just another way for the city to rake in some extra dough. And art exhibits are always a snooze fest if you ask me...
i'm so down for the hockey exhibition at the detroit historical museum, sounds like a blast 
and the concert for bangladesh film screening at schvitz is gonna be lit 
can't wait to check out breland and natalie jane performing live at the christmas tree lighting event 
.
, it's been ages since they've had a major Native American show and I'm all about supporting the voices of our indigenous community. And can we talk about how amazing it is that Higher Hopes nonprofit is giving out free turkeys to those in need on Thanksgiving? That's just pure kindness 
. The Christmas tree lighting and ice skating event sounds fun too, but let's be real, who has time for all this holiday cheer when there are more pressing issues to address 
!
