Downtown Mount Clemens will close out the summer schedule with one concert and the Fall Art & Craft Show. The Uptown Friday Night concert will be on the Main Stage in the Cherry Street Mall on Macomb Place with Soul Commission featuring Kathleen Murray on September 4th.
Fall is in the air, leaves are changing, and we are gearing up for our fall and holiday events in Downtown Mount Clemens. The Halloween Spooktacular is our signature children’s event and it kicks off our fall festivities. This free event features a wide variety of activities and family fun for all!
Continuing our longstanding tradition, we usher in the holiday season at our annual Downtown Christmas Open House. On Friday, November 20th Santa will arrive by horse drawn sleigh and he will light up all of the downtown decorations. Afterward, families can enjoy free carriage rides, visit with Santa and take your own photos, and partake in fun activities throughout many of the downtown businesses. Santa will return to make a grand appearance in Downtown Mount Clemens at the 51st Annual Mount Clemens Santa Parade on Saturday, November 21st.
The seventh annual Christmas Light Parade will return to the downtown on Saturday, December 12th. You can join Santa and his sleigh in all the fun with cars, motorcycles, trucks, and floats decorated with hundreds of lights heading down Macomb Place and Main Street.
We encourage you to shop small instead of the mall on Small Business Saturday and throughout the entire holiday shopping season. Patronizing small, independently owned local businesses helps support our local economy. Downtown Mount Clemens has numerous retail stores with great unique gift giving ideas for the most difficult people to shop for on your list.
The Anton Art Center Holiday Market is another great holiday shopping opportunity, and nearly all our downtown restaurants offer gift certificates. If you are looking for a place to hold your holiday party, there are over a dozen venues right here in Downtown Mount Clemens. We’ll close out 2026 with NYE Kids Night and our traditional New Year’s Eve Gala. NYE Kids Night will be held at the Discovery Center of Macomb located at 54 Cherry Street prior to the Gala merriments. Children will have their own New Year’s celebration, complete with a ball drop and mini fireworks display.
Our traditional New Year’s Eve Gala festivities will follow, including entertainment, and the ONLY New Year’s Eve fireworks display in the metro Detroit area. On behalf of the Mount Clemens Downtown Development Authority, we would like to wish you a very happy and safe holiday season, and prosperous New Year!
