Colony Days in Palmer

June 10-12th in Downtown Palmer
A grand parade through the heart of the town, community events in nearly every building, a quilt walkabout and a custom car rally at night conjure up images of childhood celebrations. Small children drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and playing games help reinforce the notion.
It sounds like the recipe for the perfect small town America event. That’s exactly what it is—Palmer’s Colony Days, a sampling of everything fun in the heart of the Mat-Su Valley, thrown together for a three-day celebration.
