GRiZ‘s annual charity drive GRiZMAS has been holiday tradition since the producer launched the event in 2014. Now, organizers have announced a very merry program for the 2026 edition.
Happening in locations around Detroit, a city not far from where GRiZ grew up, this year’s GRiZMAS will feature ice skating, dodgeball, roller disco, yoga, a trip to a Detroit Red Wings game and much more, with the event culminating with a pair of GRiZ and friends concerts at the city’s Masonic Temple. Every event is on sale now. See the complete schedule below.
Revenue from GRiZMAS benefits local youth music organizations, with the event raising more than $895,900 for music education since its launch. GRiZMAS is anchored by a holiday pop-up charity store
in downtown Detroit that sells merch, specially made GRiZMAS roast coffee and much more, with 100% of proceeds going to the cause. Located at 719 Griswold, this charity shop is open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily, from Dec. 8 -20.
“12 Days of GRiZMAS was born to celebrate music, the city of Detroit, its incredible history as a music town, and the spirit of giving,” GRiZ says in a statement. “I truly believe change starts with us, working together. Even the smallest acts of generosity can snowball into a massive positive impact.”
