Get Ready for the Inaugural Big Red Ball Supporting the Transformation of Michigan's Downtown

Big Red Ball Flyer

Get ready for the inaugural Big Red Ball – an evening of stunning views, interesting people, and seasonal revelry, all with a shared mission: transforming Michigan’s Downtown. Join us on December 7 at the historic Atrium Building, where Downtown Lansing Inc. (DLI) will bring together community leaders, business champions, and friends from across the region for a night that truly celebrates the heart of our city.

Be bold and audacious as you help fuel DLI’s mission to revitalize Downtown Lansing into a thriving, inclusive district where everyone is welcomed. Enjoy gourmet cuisine, specialty cocktails, live entertainment from the talented violinist Rodney Page, and special performances by Riverwalk Theatre. Surprises await, setting the stage for an unforgettable night in Michigan’s Downtown.

DLI is the leading force in community development and economic growth, and every ticket to the Big Red Ball contributes directly to this transformation. This is more than a black-tie gala – it’s your opportunity to support the future of a vibrant, welcoming, and prosperous downtown.

So, dress your best, bring your friends, and get ready to dance, dine, and toast to a thriving future at the Big Red Ball!
