The Carnival of the Creatives returns for the 2021 Halloween season. The Artist’s Umbrella and Downtown Lansing Inc. will be presenting this year’s iteration on Saturday, October 30th from 7pm to 9pm in the South Capitol Parking Ramp in Downtown Lansing. There will be multiple “Trunk-or-Treat” stations throughout the ramp. Entry to the event is $20.00 per vehicle, and you pay when you enter the Ramp. Due to height restrictions, no vehicles taller than ‘6 feet, 6 inches’ will be able to drive-thru the Carnival of the Creatives.

As attendees start to ascend the ramp from the comfort of their vehicle, they will begin passing a variety of performers & visual artists all decked out in Halloween themed apparel & costumes. “We are so excited to be a part of this unique Halloween event for a second straight year, and showcase some amazing talent from right here in our community,” said Brandon Navin, founder & executive director of the Artist’s Umbrella. Performers & artists for the Carnival of the Creatives will be stationed throughout the South Capitol Parking Ramp, and will include musicians, dancers, poets, circus arts performers, and visual artists. 

The Artist’s Umbrella, a Lansing based arts organization that has established itself as Mid-Michigan’s premiere variety show will curate the performers and artists, as well as handling the lighting, sound, & production for the event. Downtown Lansing Inc. will help with sponsorships & navigating red tape to help make this event a success. A generous portion of the proceeds for the event will go directly to compensate the artists & creatives who will be part of the show that evening.

Downtown Lansing Inc. will be coordinating volunteers for the event, and working with local businesses to ensure event sponsors & Trunk-or-Treat participants. DLI was also integral in working with the City of Lansing to secure the South Capitol Parking Ramp for this event, which will drive people to downtown Lansing, and in the process, Lift Up our Local downtown businesses. If you’d like to volunteer to work the event, contact the Artists’ Umbrella or Downtown Lansing Inc.
