Downtown Lansing’s summer music season invites residents and visitors alike to slow down, get outside, and enjoy warm evenings filled with live music.
From the laid-back setting of the City of Lansing’s Concerts in the Park to the riverfront ambiance of the Grand Concert Series and the lively downtown atmosphere of Nelson Gallery’s Live Music Thursdays, each event offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, gather with friends, and take in the sounds of the season.
