GRiZ’s ‘12 Days of GRiZMAS’ Charity Drive Announces 2026 Program

Organizers have announced the 2026 program for GRiZMAS, producer GRiZ’s annual charity drive. Events around Detroit will include ice skating, dodgeball, roller disco, yoga and a trip to a Detroit Red Wings game, culminating in two GRiZ and friends concerts at the city’s Masonic Temple.

GRiZ launched the holiday event in 2014 near Detroit, where he grew up. All events are on sale now.

GRiZMAS revenue benefits local youth music organizations. The event has raised more than $895,900 for music education since its launch. Its holiday pop-up charity store at 719 Griswold in downtown Detroit sells merchandise, specially made GRiZMAS roast coffee and other items, with 100% of proceeds going to the cause. The store is open daily from noon to 6 p.m. from Dec. 8 through Dec. 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 said 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.”
