On Wednesday, Sept. 18, Doane University and the City of Crete will host 'Celebrate Crete' a community event to recognize our city, it’s beautiful people and culture.

Celebrate Crete will take place on Sept. 18 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Tuxedo Park, where attendees can enjoy a variety of free food, beverages, music, performances, a dunk tank, games, and much more.

This vibrant celebration is a joint partnership between Doane University and the City of Crete, made possible through the generous support and coordination of numerous local businesses and organizations. It coincides with National Welcoming Week, a celebration that runs from Sept. 13-22.

(Please note: This event is planned in place of the annual Back to School Community Picnic, which was unable to be hosted in early August due to construction at Doane University's Perry Campus Center and a variety of other factors.)
