Paul W. Smith Highlights Detroit’s Vibrant Holiday Traditions in Full Swing
Detroit’s vibrant holiday traditions are in full swing this season, highlighted by the spirited events organized by the Parade Company. The kickoff took place last Friday with the 26th Annual Pancake Breakfast, a significant event supported by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
Upcoming Events in Detroit’s Holiday Season
The Pancake Breakfast marks the start of “The Big Four” holiday events. This year, the event was presented by Tony Michaels, president and CEO of the Parade Company. Tricia Keith from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan emphasized the importance of maintaining this tradition.
Key Holiday Events
- Hob Nobble Gobble: Scheduled for November 21 at Ford Field, this family-friendly event is presented by Ford. Tables are still available for those interested.
- S3 Turkey Trot: Participation is already higher than last year, thanks to the efforts of Cindy Pasky.
- America’s Thanksgiving Parade: This year’s parade will mark its 99th edition and is presented by Gardner White. Special thanks to Rachel Stewart for her contributions.
America’s Thanksgiving Parade has once again earned a nomination from USA Today as one of the Best Holiday Parades in the country. Detroit has already won this honor four times, with opportunities for voters to rally support through December 1.
Voting to Retain the Title
Residents and visitors alike can participate in voting through the USA Today website. This engagement helps maintain Detroit’s reputation for hosting one of the finest holiday parades, bringing the community together.
Whether listening to the pre-parade coverage on 760 WJR Radio, streaming online, or watching on WDIV Channel 4, spectators can enjoy these spirited festivities. Paul W. Smith, the host of “Focus” on WJR-AM, continues to be a central voice in promoting these cherished traditions.
As the holiday spirit fills the air, the events in Detroit showcase a community dedicated to celebrating togetherness and joy this season.
