Bicentennial Committee

Ypsilanti’s Bicentennial is coming in 2023! The bicentennial planning committee (Bicentennial City Commission) is hard at work planning a full year of Ypsilantiinspired events and meaningful community gatherings to recognize Ypsilanti’s 200th anniversary, since its incorporation on April 22, 1823. Expect family-fun entertainment, historic-driven happenings, and even a few surprises, including opening the time capsule from the Ypsilanti Sesquicentennial in 1973!
