Noel Night 2012: Part Two

My friends and I ventured down to Detroit to experience the entire buzz about Noel Night. In tow, we had me and 4 other adults as well as two children.


We arrived in midtown around 6 Saturday night. Surprisingly, we didn’t have too hard of time parking. Once we were parked we ended up grabbing dinner at the Majestic. The staff was very friendly and for 7 people our bill was about $120.00, which included gratuity. We had an excellent experience, even though the restaurant was pretty busy.

Next we went to a place called CityBird. This place was super cool. They has a lot of items that were about Detroit, and they even had items that were made in Detroit. Santa was also there, and the kids were able to to take pictures and tell him what they wanted.



We then ventured down Woodward towards the DIA and DPL. By the time we got there, we missed most of the action, but we were able to snap a couple of cool photos, and hear the Marine band play a couple of Christmas songs. There was also an ice sculpting competition earlier that day, so the sculptures were on display.

We ran into the Delectricity group, who had electric symbols attached to their bicycle, which was quite the sight to see.

Overall, we had an excellent time, and plan on attending again next year. Although the crowd was a bit much at times, we were still able to experience Detroit in a different light than before. Going to events, such as Noel Night, helps people appreciate Detroit and the good things that it has to offer.
