SUNDAY: Bundle up and share the holiday spirit in beautiful Palmer Park's historic restored Log Cabin (built in 1885)! Join People for Palmer Park (and Santa and Mrs. Claus) to celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and the winter season at its free family-friendly WinterFest, Sunday, December 14 from 1-4 pm in and around the historic Palmer Log Cabin.

Hop aboard the horse and carriage rides, or warm up by the fire pits and with freshly baked cookies and piping hot cocoa. Listen to musical ensembles—bell ringers, carolers and violins—and enjoy treats inside the heated tent. Immerse in imagination: create holiday decorations, dream to stories, receive free children’s books (we are giving away 700 books donated by Rx for Reading Detroit),and delight in the chugging locomotive at our vintage Lionel Trains holiday display.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will welcome you into the Cabin, which will be festively decorated with holiday spirit and aglow with beautiful period-similar chandeliers, restored woodwork, Victorian pocket doors, shimmering stained glass windows, and entrancing surprises. Antique displays of children’s toys, fashions and artifacts from the 1800s will be shared by TJ’s Sweet Repeats Vintage.
Some highlights include:
o Make a wish and tell only Santa and Mrs. Claus, who will hold court in the historic Log Cabin!
o Make snowflakes and other child-friendly arts and craft-making
o Immerse in the magic of spinning wool with Queen Mama Lynette and her enchanted spinning wheel
o Celebrate Kwanzaa, the lighting of the Kinara, and its seven days, principles and symbols from Rev Guice and members of Detroit Unity Temple
o Learn about the history and celebration of Hanukkah: play dreidel, enjoy special cookies and Hanukkah gelt (chocolate coins), and learn about the eight nights’ of lighting the Menorah.
o Enjoy holiday decorations, tree and some vintage surprises throughout the cabin. The Cabin will be aglow with imagination and joyfulness!
o Meet Grimace, McDonalds’ friendly purple mascot.

Wow!

This just in… WE’RE #1! WE’RE #1!

According to UDisc, Detroit Palmer Park Disc Golf Course was the #1 played course in the ENTIRE State of Michigan in October!

Also … the 96th most played course in the WORLD!

HUGE accomplishment (that clearly has absolutely nothing to do with Firefighters being closed 🤫 )

Keep it up players! We love Palmer Park and the park loves you 💙! Paul McBeth Foundation City of Detroit Government People For Palmer Park
