Preview to give celebration insight.

Reserve seats now to get a sneak peek of plans for the City’s 175th anniversary celebration.

A special preview will be held Saturday at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts on Newberry Street to inform the public of activities scheduled for the City’s anniversary and to gather volunteers to help with the events.

The preview will be in two sessions at 2 and 3 p.m. The sessions – presented by Mayor Fred Cavanaugh and Bill Reynolds, chairman of the anniversary planning committee – are 15 to 20 minutes long and will highlight the events planned for the year.

The City’s yearlong celebration will officially begin on Jan. 9 with a kick-off party downtown from 1 to 5 p.m. The event will commemorate the City’s first year, called the “Sights, Sounds and Tastes of 1835.” The City of Aiken was established on Dec. 19, 1835.
