GRiZMAS, GRiZ’s annual charity drive, has been a holiday tradition since the producer launched the event in 2014. Organizers have announced the program for the 2026 edition, and this overview covers the Detroit events, concerts, and charity store on the schedule.
This year’s GRiZMAS events will take place around Detroit, near where GRiZ grew up. The program includes ice skating, dodgeball, roller disco, yoga, a trip to a Detroit Red Wings game, and two GRiZ and friends concerts at the city’s Masonic Temple. Every event is on sale now; the full schedule follows.
GRiZMAS proceeds benefit local youth music organizations, and the event has raised more than $895,900 for music education since its launch. The annual drive also includes a holiday pop-up charity store in downtown Detroit, where merchandise, specially made GRiZMAS roast coffee, and other items are sold, with 100% of proceeds going to the cause. Located at 719 Griswold, the shop is open daily from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., 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.”
