Welcome to 5MileAndFarmington.com - a community project built by someone who truly loves Livonia and is proud to call it home.
If you’ve ever tried to find out what’s happening around Livonia, you know it can be a bit of a hunt. There are flyers taped up at coffee shops, a few posts in Facebook groups, and maybe the occasional mention in a local newsletter. But there wasn’t a single spot to find it all - or share something new with your fellow neighbors. That’s why I started 5MileAndFarmington.com.
Livonia isn’t just where I live. It’s where I grew up, where I made lifelong friends, and where I’ve seen firsthand how much good can happen when people come together. I wanted to create something that celebrates that spirit. A place where everyone can find out what’s going on, get involved, and feel connected.
There’s a ton happening around here, from weekend farmers markets to high school theater shows, car cruises, holiday parades, and block parties that spill out onto front lawns. But unless you’re in the right circle or see the right post at the right time, you might miss out. My hope is that this site helps bridge those gaps. Maybe you’ll discover a hidden gem event you never knew about, or maybe you’ll get inspired to host your own gathering and invite the whole neighborhood.
Every town has its own personality, and Livonia’s is something I’ve always admired. It’s a place where people look out for each other, where small businesses know your name, and where there’s always someone willing to lend a hand or share a laugh.
I’m proud to be a member of this community, and I’m always amazed at the creativity, kindness, and hustle I see from my neighbors. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved in, I hope 5MileAndFarmington.com makes you feel a little more at home.
