DETROIT, (WXYZ) — The City of Detroit has announced a three-day event at Palmer Park. WinterFest will happen on Feb. 11 - 14 and consist of ice skating, snowshoeing, sledding, carriage rides, food trucks, and more.

We are thrilled that the City of Detroit has selected Palmer Park for its 2022 WinterFest.” said President of People for Palmer Park, Rochelle Lento.
