Novi’s Light the Lights celebration will bring a holiday tree lighting, fireworks and visits with Santa Claus to Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk on Friday, Nov. 20.

The free event runs from 6 to 9 p.m., with the tree lighting and fireworks scheduled for 7 p.m., according to the city’s official event page.

The city also highlighted the celebration in a Nov. 10 announcement on X.

The tree will stand in front of Emagine Theatre, between Beerhead Bar & Eatery and The HUB Stadium.

Activities include live music, character appearances, free train rides and a station where children can write letters to Santa. Visitors can also gather around firepits. Stuffed-animal activities, claw machines, food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Free parking is available throughout Fountain Walk. The southwest lot south of Emagine will be closed to parking for the fireworks safety zone.

The city says the tree lighting will take place rain or shine. If severe weather is expected, residents should check the City of Novi’s Facebook page for updates.
