LANSING, Mich — Rain could not stop Easter weekend fun in Lansing on Saturday, as the Downtown Egg-Stravaganza was moved from the Capitol lawn to indoors at Grewal Hall.
Neighbors lined the streets and battled the rain to enjoy the event.
“The weather was not cooperating with us but we still wanted a reason for everyone to come downtown,” Jenea Markham, Downtown Lansing Inc said
LANSING, Mich. - More than a thousand people turned up for the Egg-Stravaganza in downtown Lansing, which was moved inside Grewal Hall this year due to rain.
The flooding didn’t shut down all events. Community partners and volunteers stuffed 11,000 eggs for children to find and collect.
Children could also take pictures with the Easter bunny, receive extra candy and experience other activities around Washington Square.
Lansing’s iconic ‘gear head’ sculpture, officially known as ‘Portrait of a Dreamer,’ is a 15-foot-tall interactive art piece created by Michigan artist Ivan Iler. Installed in 2017 as part of a City of Lansing Arts Impact project, the stainless steel statue features a crank that allows visitors to turn the gears in the head and those spilling out. The sculpture was designed to represent the three cultural organizations located on Museum Drive in downtown Lansing.
