Parker’s Alley attendees can expect free face painting and balloon art, stilt walkers, live artwork and pumpkin décor – an ideal backdrop for a variety of photo opportunities, according to a press release.
The even is from 1- 5 p.m. Saturday, October 29 at Parker’s Alley, Grand River Avenue to John R. Street in Detroit.

Parker’s Alley honors Thomas Parker, one of the first African-American landowners in the city’s history in 1809.
Parker’s small parcel was located at 1413 Farmer street, he owned the land from March 18, 1809 until April 9, 1816 according to a well-told story by Paul Sewick of the Metro Times. Parker acquired the land through a lot drawing stemming from the Great Detroit Fire of 1805.
