The greater Lansing region is home to more than<br />

100 local festivals and annual events, attracting<br />

nearly half a million people from near and far.<br />

These popular festivals and events, some of which<br />

are nationally recognized, make greater Lansing<br />

an attractive and vibrant place to live, work<br />

and play. Through performances, cultural activities,<br />

educational opportunities and more, these events<br />

celebrate arts and culture and traditions old and new.<br />

To spotlight and support these many festivals and<br />

placemaking events, and their legacies, the Greater<br />

Lansing <strong>Festival</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> was formed as a separate<br />

entity in 2009 with the help of the Arts Council.<br />

In 2014, the <strong>Festival</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong> was incorporated into<br />

the Arts Council's full membership, and it now<br />

has its largest number of collaborative alliance<br />

members ever, with nearly 40 local festivals and<br />

their organizers coming together to celebrate<br />

in the greater Lansing area.<br />
