 Ypsilanti Halloween Festival 

and SOS Food Drive

Thank you for your participation!  To view scenes from the 2008 event please click here. 

Friday, October 29, 2010 5 - 7 pm.  

This free event occurs every year just before the official Halloween day children from around the region are invited to join us for prizes, games, contests and of course, free candy.  This year families have an opportunity to give as well, by bringing canned goods to donate to SOS.  

This year all activities will be held in the Ypsilanti District Library Park, and on North and South Washington Streets.  Candy distribution stations and SOS canned goods collection boxes will be set up in each of these locations.  

Michigan Avenue will not be closed this year, instead the Ypsilanti Volunteer Service Corps will be on hand to help kids cross Michigan Avenue.  Children must be supervised.
