SPECIAL EVENTS

Special events at the Y give all the opportunity to deepen relationships, develop new skills and interests, improve their health and well-being, and connect to the community. Whether it’s a family night at one of our locations, or a Thanksgiving morning run, you will find opportunities to learn, grow and thrive at the YMCA.

Please note that most events require advanced registration as space is limited. Registration is available online and in person at each YMCA location.
