The Greater Lansing Festival Alliance aims to facilitate, promote, and support greater Lansing’s non-profit cultural and artistic festivals in order to positively impact and enhance quality of life in the capital region.
The Festival Alliance exists in the arts and culture festival industry. This incorporates other industries such as tourism, restaurant, and entertainment. What is different about the Festival Alliance is that our festivals have a connecting thread of arts/culture.
