Rooted in the heart of Ypsilanti, this lively, community-focused farmers market brings together farm-fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and artisan products from a wide range of local farmers, food makers, and small businesses. It serves as a gathering place that expands access to healthy food, fosters economic opportunity, and builds community connections. Support area growers, explore seasonal offerings, and take in the energy of Ypsi’s local food scene.

Now in its third year, this free community stroll in downtown Ypsilanti helps local students prepare for a successful school year. Families can make their way between participating businesses and community organizations to pick up free school supplies, discover helpful resources, and enjoy fun activities and giveaways. Supplies are available while they last, offering an easy way to round out back-to-school needs and spend time together.

This standard practice session features a rotating curriculum, and for August the focus is staff, a two handed weapon. The class begins with drills and skills, moves into instruction on the monthly theme, then concludes with either open floor time or choreography work. First time attendees can take an introductory class at no cost, while subsequent drop ins are $25, and memberships are available to reduce the per class price. Attendance is limited due to current health precautions. This is an indoor practice and a mask that fully covers the mouth and nose is required without exception. Those unable or unwilling to follow these rules can plan to attend when such measures are no longer in place. Advance contact is requested for attendance.
