The evening will include musical performances, a sing-along led by Mayor O’Reilly and a chance to visit with the big man himself (we're referring to Santa, of course).
“Just as in the past, this year’s program promises to be an uplifting event,” O’Reilly said. “The tree lighting is one my favorite Dearborn traditions, the sense of community and belonging that it fosters stays with me all year.”
The Dearborn High School Jazz Band will kick off the festivities with a performance near the entrance to The Center’s Michael A. Guido Theater. After the band, five-year-old Maryam Majed will help Mayor O’Reilly light the tree. Maryam is a kindergarten student at Lowery Elementary School where her favorite subject is English.
Following the lighting ceremony, everyone is invited into The Center for a performance by the Verdi Opera Theater of Michigan, the Dearborn Public Schools’ Honors Choir and the Dearborn Community Chorus. Mayor O’Reilly will follow the performance and lead the audience in a Christmas sing-along.

Always a fun time! I've been going for years and I suggest all you complainers lighten up and stop by for an hour. It'll do you some good.
Great job tonight, Honors Choir! You should all be proud.
Proud Grandmother - Honors Choir did a wonderful job and both Mr. Walters and Ms. Pegouske have done a great job with this young group of students!!!
Missed seeing the Jazz Band. Will this be broadcast on cable; if so, when?
