Pączki in Detroit
Paczki Day 2027 falls on Tuesday, February 9, 2027. In this part of Michigan that is a genuine event rather than a novelty, and the bakeries that do it properly sell out. Here is what we have confirmed about who makes them, who makes them all year, and what they cost.
A pronunciation note, since it comes up. One is a paczek. More than one, which is the realistic case, are paczki. The Polish spelling uses a nasal hook: pączki.
Sold year round, not just in February
This is the detail almost nobody publishes, and it matters if you want paczki in June. These bakeries state they sell them all year.

Published box options and prices
Copied as the bakery published them. Paczki pricing is set per season, so treat a price from a previous season as a guide to the order of magnitude rather than as this year's number.

How to actually get them on the day
Fat Tuesday is the one day of the year when turning up casually does not work. The pattern in Hamtramck is that the serious bakeries open extremely early, the line forms before that, and popular fillings run out first.
- Order ahead if the bakery lets you. Pre-order windows tend to close days early.
- Check the special hours. Several bakeries open in the small hours on the day.
- Going late in the day is a gamble. Going at lunchtime for a specific filling is a bigger one.
- If the date is not the point for you, buy them from a year round bakery on a quiet Tuesday instead.
Ahead of 2027. Most bakeries publish their box options and pre-order deadlines in January. We update this page when they do. If you run a bakery and want your 2027 options listed,send them to us and we will add them, free.
