In collaboration with the Shelby Township DDA, the 2025 Shelby Township Christmas Aglow returns to include a drone show.
The enchanting spectacle will unfold at 6 p.m. Dec. 5, on the Civic Center Campus at 52700 Van Dyke Ave. As Santa Claus and the township officials light the towering 40-foot Christmas tree, the night sky will come alive with a dance of lights from highflying drones.
Before the grand tree lighting, Shelby TV will usher in the holiday spirit with its traditional stage show. Attendees can savor the atmosphere with horsedrawn wagon rides, meet and greet with a real reindeer outside the library, sip on hot cocoa, and enjoy holiday melodies.
Santa will receive the key to the township from North Pole ambassadors selected from the winners of this year’s Shelby Township Christmas Coloring Contest.
Following these festivities, Santa and Mrs. Claus then head inside the Shelby Township Library to meet children and pose for free photos until 8:30 p.m.
