The unique annual holiday show is free for the public. Starting November 25, it is shown nightly – every 30 min. between 6p.m.-9p.m.- until January 6. The spectacle features a DMX, wireless computerized, light, and music extravaganza with 96 strobe lights emanating from inside the unique Christmas tree.
“Starting in the summer our patients and the public stop in to ask what we are planning for this year and egg us on to make it even bigger and more special,” Demray said. “As they say, ‘it takes a village’ and this year the community really stepped up with us to create a magical and unique holiday event for Detroit area families.”
This is the 19th year Preservation Dental has provided a holiday event for the community and visitors to Southeastern Michigan.
