Lansing Makers Network News Today

Easter is coming up on Sunday, and the Easter Bunny will be hopping around the Lansing area this weekend to greet families and drop treat-filled eggs. Beyond holiday events, there will also be a comedy show, a home aquaponics workshop, a one-day art show, concerts, dance parties and more.

This weekend is less busy than usual, but we still have plenty of concerts, art exhibits and theater productions to enjoy, plus a soccer match, a hot sauce trivia contest and more.

Whether you enjoy video games, tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, comic books, Marvel movies or anime and manga, Capital City Comic Con offers chances to nerd out and meet other community members who share the same interests. There are also Fourth of July events, a Pride block party, drag and burlesque shows, a soccer match and plenty more to do this weekend.

Monday is Memorial Day, meaning many readers likely have a long weekend ahead. There are plenty of art exhibits, concerts, farmers markets, film screenings and even a three-day fiesta to enjoy on your days off, and there are also parades and tributes throughout the weekend to celebrate the holiday and honor members of the military who died while serving.
