LANSING, Mich. — Washington Square in downtown Lansing is the place to be on Thursday, March 5th, as downtown Lansing partners with local artists, dining establishments, as well as neighboring shops in a night of pop-up placemaking activities. Following a Michigan-based theme that starts with a Michigan chef takeover at EnVie, downtown residents and visitors will be able to walk up and down Washington Square to shop, dine, and dance local!
“This month we’re expanding on the successful Downtown Traffic JAM! pop-up events that we have been holding, bringing light and life to multiple spaces downtown after 5:00 p.m.” states Downtown Lansing Inc. Executive Director, Cathleen Edgerly. We’re looking forward to creating even more of an experience depending on your interests, found all up and down Washington Sq.
