Detroit is set to welcome back GRiZMAS, the popular holiday concert series founded by local DJ and musician GRiZ. After a two-year hiatus, this festive event will take place on December 19 and 20 at the Masonic Temple. Venue officials announced the event’s return on Tuesday, generating excitement among fans and local residents.
Tickets for GRiZMAS will be offered in one- or two-day packages, making it accessible for concert-goers. General ticket sales are slated to begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, with presale tickets available starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday. Currently, presale registration is open for those eager to secure their spots early.
Originally launched in 2014 as a holiday concert celebrating GRiZ’s hometown, GRiZMAS has since transformed into a 12-day charity initiative, featuring various events throughout Detroit. Over the years, the event has raised over $500,000 for local foundations, significantly contributing to the community. The last two editions in 2023 and 2024 were paused as GRiZ, whose real name is Grant Kwiecinski, took time off from the music industry to reflect on his personal and professional journey.
In March 2023, GRiZ released new music, marking his return to the industry. During the announcement of this year’s GRiZMAS, he shared a video that captured his festive spirit in the studio. He emphasized the importance of closing out the year with a tradition deeply rooted in giving back to his community.
This year’s GRiZMAS will feature performances from artists like Whethan and Austeria on December 19, and Vincent Antone and Motifv on December 20. The concert series not only aims to unite the GRiZ fandom but also serves as a charity benefit focused on supporting local youth through music education initiatives. Throughout its history, GRiZMAS has raised over $1 million for its charity partner, Seven Mile, a nonprofit that promotes music and creative arts for Detroit’s youth.
Previous iterations of GRiZMAS have included a variety of engaging activities such as charity dodgeball tournaments, community yoga sessions, and themed roller disco events, highlighting the community-focused aspect of the initiative. The 2023 edition of GRiZMAS marks a special 10th anniversary milestone, further solidifying its significance in Detroit’s cultural landscape.
As excitement builds for the event, fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for an enriching experience filled with music, community spirit, and festive cheer. GRiZMAS is set to not only entertain but also uplift the local community through its charitable efforts, embodying the essence of the holiday season.
