The Michigan Science Center will transform into a vibrant hub of learning and discovery, all while participants soak in the festive atmosphere that Noel Night brings to the community. With carolers, light displays, and holiday-themed activities throughout Midtown, guests can enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with both holiday spirit and educational opportunities all completely free of charge. Don’t miss this chance to create lasting memories with family and friends while engaging in a truly enriching experience!
Noel Night is a festive open house in Midtown Detroit and the Cultural Center that celebrates diverse holiday traditions. The event features live music, holiday shopping from local businesses, visits with Santa, food trucks, and family-friendly make-and-take activities.
Comerica volunteers will host two financial education sessions on Dec. 7 in the Toyota Engineering Theatre from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 1-2 p.m. to share banking best practices and tips and tricks for credit scores and reports. The sessions are open to all community members. They will be joined by the Michigan Science Center’s STEMinista program, a group of middle school-aged girls, and the Explainers, a group of high school-aged rotational interns.
Steve Davis, Comerica Bank Michigan market President, emphasized that he is thrilled to partner with the Michigan Science Center during Noel Night to provide free access to the STEM engagement hub of our community.
“While families gather downtown to celebrate the holiday season and learn about diverse traditions, they’ll also be able to explore a wide range of exhibits, programs and science demonstrations,” Davis said.
“As both Comerica Bank and the Michigan Science Center are deeply rooted in actively educating the community, this partnership truly reflects our shared mission and aims to inspire and foster our next generation.”
Comerica will also have two resource tables to provide visitors with information on products and services the bank offers.
Comerica’s commitment to the community is made possible through direct support to transformative nonprofit organizations and by colleagues volunteering thousands of hours to improve the communities where they both live and work.
Since January 2019, Comerica Bank and the Comerica Charitable Foundation have contributed more than $49 million to philanthropic organizations in its markets. Comerica colleagues have volunteered over 320,000 hours, translating to over $10.2 million worth of donated time.
Dr. Christian Greer, president and CEO of the Michigan Science Center, highlighted being thrilled to open the doors to the public for Detroit’s 50th Noel Night.
“Thanks to Comerica’s generous support, we’re able to welcome the community free of charge on this special occasion,” Greer said.
“Our educators are eagerly preparing engaging activities and exciting demonstrations designed to put you at the center of science, and we can’t wait to share them with everyone during this beloved holiday tradition!”
The Michigan Science Center is located at the corner of Warren Avenue and John R Street in Midtown Detroit and will be open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Those interested in visiting the museum on Saturday, Dec. 7 can view a full list of attractions and details here.
