UPDATE: Now they've CANCELLED the Ypsi Township fireworks for tonight

Better luck next year we guess. They have reversed course from earlier today and CANCELLED the fireworks for tonight at Ford Lake. They will NOT be rescheduled this year.

Reader cmadler reminds us there IS a wonderful concert by the Ypsilanti Community Band July 15th in Riverside Park. The show is at 7:30pm.

Check HERE for details on the concert.

A few posts down and since Ypsi City Desk is about YOU, I wanna give it some face time

On Thursday, December 6, the Ypsilanti Community Band and the Ypsilanti Community Choir continue an annual tradition with a joint concert of holiday music at Washtenaw Community College's Towsley Auditorium.
