Tomorrow's the day! We can't wait to welcome you to YPSI Food Fest!

As promised, here's your official event map to help you plan your day. Explore 27 incredible food and product vendors, discover community organizations, and map out the meals, activities, and experiences you won't want to miss with your family.

Looking for a specific meal? We've made it easy! Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are identified right on the map so everyone can find something delicious to enjoy.

The forecast is on our side, but no matter what the skies bring (unless its unsafe), we'll be here celebrating local food, community, and all the connections that make Ypsilanti special.

When we support local entrepreneurs, we strengthen our local economy. When we gather with neighbors, we build a stronger sense of community. Tomorrow is a celebration of both.

We'll see you Saturday, August 15 | 12:00–7:00 PM
301 W. Michigan Ave., Ypsilanti

Free admission. Free family activities. Community for everyone.

Join us today at 12pm!
