The volunteers behind The Jamboree have worked hard to create an event that not only provides a fun creative atmosphere for the community, but also helps attract the fresh new faces, businesses and cultures from far and wide. Held at scenic Riverside Park in historic Depot Town, in Ypsilanti, MI, this brand–new event has been established as a non-profit organization in order to direct all proceeds back into the community for the economic development and capital improvements for our parks that will help us sustain a fun and attractive destination to work, live and play.
