## About

Transform your Thanksgiving week family outing into a cozy European-style holiday stroll through the Downtown Detroit Markets and Cadillac Square Winter Lodge! Located right across from Campus Martius Park, dozens of charming glass-front chalets showcase a curated collection of local Detroit small businesses, independent toy makers, artisans, apparel designers, and specialty food purveyors.

Adjacent to the chalets, families can step inside the Cadillac Square Lodge—a spacious, heated ski-lodge-inspired pavilion filled with plush seating, rustic timber decor, family board games, and warming beverage bars serving hot spiced cider, gourmet hot cocoa, and locally baked cinnamon pretzels. Just steps from The Rink and the Woodward Christmas Tree, it's the ultimate downtown family gathering hub.
