Light Up the Cabin 2024
​
Garden Party in Palmer Woods
Saturday, August 17 · 3 - 6pm 

Enjoy fabulous food and jazz, a unique silent auction, and an opportunity to celebrate summer in the garden and poolside of a historic mansion in stunning Palmer Woods.

The "Light Up the Cabin" party on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 17 from 3-6 pm will benefit the nonprofit People for Palmer Park and its work to restore its historic 139-year-old Log Cabin and continue to revitalize Detroit's Palmer Park. Tickets and details: logcabinparty2024.eventbrite.com

Highlights include a delicious culinary journey featuring hand-crafted recipes inspired by dishes of the Black Diaspora from Africa to the Caribbean, American South, and Detroit created by legendary Chef Phil Jones, Detroit Free Press 2021 Chef of the Year; sensational jazz with two Kresge Arts Fellows, master guitarist A. Spencer Barefield with saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist Rafael Statin; and a silent auction with art, music, history, and unique Detroit-centric experiences; wine & sweets; and a tour through a portion of the historic home, designed in 1931 by famed Detroit-born architect Richard Marr, who was known as the “Architect of Midwest Millionaires.” 

The home is filled with Pewabic tile, carved woodwork, vaulted ceilings, stained glass, and other beautiful features. In 1913, Marr returned to Detroit from Boston, where he had studied architecture at Harvard. Back home, he worked with renowned architect George D. Mason, who designed the Palmer Park Log Cabin with Zachariah Rice in 1885.

Dress in your favorite vintage or summer party attire for this special event and help us Light Up and continue to restore the Palmer Park Log Cabin, a historic landmark and cultural center for art, music, history, education and community gathering! Your support will make a difference in preserving this beautiful piece of history.
