More than a century ago, Senator Thomas Palmer and his wife Lizzie Merrill Palmer would often invite guests to enjoy their Log Cabin Farm, drink freshly pressed apple cider, and enjoy the harvest. Palmer donated the land in the late 1800s to the city of Detroit to serve as a park "for the good of everyone."

In honor of the harvest and in celebration of the Palmer legacy, the park will be filled with autumn festivities and free family fun.  

This will be a fun-filled opportunity for all ages to discover how our food is grown, the lives of farm animals, and nature in the park.

Sponsors: Presented by People for Palmer Park with the support of the City of Detroit Parks & Rec Department and Motor City Brewing Works. Special thanks to Home Depot for a grant and volunteers that made it possible to build the PFPP Educational Garden. ​

PEOPLE FOR PALMER PARK OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE: As with all our events, we will have plenty of official PFPP merchandise for sale! T-shirts, water bottles, buttons and more! Cash and credit accepted!

The event takes place next to Palmer Park's Splash Park and playground, on Merrill Plaisance near Pontchartrain, between McNichols and Seven Mile Roads, west of Woodward Avenue. Parking is available at the Splash Park parking lot.
