Anchorage residents are marking a milestone this week – the municipality’s 50th anniversary.

Many turned out for the Bonny Sosa Tuesday Night Races at Goose Lake Park to celebrate.

It was on September 16, 1975, that voters approved the charter officially forming the Municipality of Anchorage, after years of efforts to merge the city and borough.

More celebrations are planned through November. You can see the full schedule at YourAlaskaLink.com .
