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 storein 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.
