Watch in amazement as thousands of marshmallows are dropped from a helicopter
Experience pure joy and delight as fluffy marshmallows fall from the sky during Oakland County Parks' Great Marshmallow Drop beginning at 10 a.m. March 29 at Catalpa Oaks County Park in Southfield.
Watch as 15,000 marshmallows are released from a helicopter. Participants only need to collect one marshmallow to exchange for a treat bag at the prize tent during this free event.
Drops will be done by age group: Ages 4 and younger; ages 5-7; and ages 8-12. A drop for individuals with disabilities of all ages will begin at 11:30 a.m.
Henry Ford Health – GoHealth Urgent Care and Credit Union Advantage are sponsors of this year's Great Marshmallow Drop.
Volunteers are still needed! Nearly 200 volunteers assist event staff with parking, providing a safe boundary for kids to run in, handing out prizes and other activities to support the event. This is a great option for groups or school service organizations. Two shifts are available from 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Complete this registration form to volunteer.
