These stories explain why Fat Tuesday is special in the Motor City

Paczki Day could low key be one of metro Detroit’s most cherished holiday traditions. Taking place on Fat Tuesday — this year it’x March 4, it’s a time for Catholics (and those who just like to party) to indulge in the days ahead of the 40 days of sacrifice associated with Lent. It starts with a Polish-style doughnut in all of its doughy, sugary, and creamy, custardy, or fruity-filled glory dusted in powdered sugar or encased in an icing glaze. Enjoy a paczek at one of the many corner bars in Hamtramck, where you’re bound to encounter paczki shots, paczki-flavored cocktails, and plenty of day drinking, along with lines at the few remaining Polish bakeries in town wrapped around the block before sunrise.

Here are the essential stories related to Paczki Day to help you commemorate this ode to fried dough in proper fashion, whether you’ve been assigned to bring in the requisite box of paczki into the office, are looking for a new tradition to ring in the special day, or you’re on the hunt for the best twists on the classic Polish pastry.
