Every summer, Palmer commemorates its founding with the Colony Days celebration, held the second weekend in June, featuring a parade, farmer’s markets, open houses, a popular 5-k run and other community events. Settled by over 200 families in 1935, Palmer has grown into a thriving community rich with culture, creativity and that fun-loving neighborly spirit that feels like home even to its visitors. Bring the family out to this year’s Colony Days celebration from June seventh through ninth and experience what makes Palmer such a vibrant and happy town.
