The Village Lansing 4th Annual Trunk or Treat Event
Join us for an evening of family friendly fun in The Village Lansing parking lot!
Bring the kids out to enjoy a Live DJ, donuts and cider, and lots of candy! The Lansing Fire Department will be on site with a firetruck for the kids and the Lansing City Clerk's office is holding a mock election voting event inside so make sure your youth casts their vote! We are also holding a contest for the best costume for the kids (find the Village tent and make sure to send us your pic to be entered) and for the best-decorated trunk.
Contest and Election Winners will be announced after the event.

JOIN US AND HOST A TRUNK
It's a really fun way to support us!
Our events are made possible through the support of our wonderful community. You will have an amazing time, and this can also be a great way for groups, workplaces, and organizations to have a blast together.
For Trunk Hosts, decorating your car (or pop up tent) and attending in costume is highly encouraged (and really fun!) and there will be a gift basket prize for the best decorated trunk! We ask that each trunk brings enough candy for 100 kids at least (200+ is even better) at 2-3 pieces of fun size candy each.We will have some candy to provide to backfill, but supplies are limited.
Ready to make our event a huge success?
We ask that trunk hosts have their vehicle in the parking lot no later than 5:30pm and can commit to staying the entire event (6-8pm).

Public Art Workshop: Youth Tantrum Tent & flowerpot painting
Join us for a fun & free art workshop! Express your Emotions Throwing Paint in our Tantrum Tents OR
The Village Lansing is excited to partner with Mila Lynn, Artist in Residence at REACH Art Studio, Lansing, MI, and local artist Christina Castilla to host an Active Art Workshop to encourage positive self-expression and self-growth amongst Lansing Youth. To further personal growth, ASPIRE Relationship Education is also affiliated with this workshop by providing infographics on self growth and empowerment.
The workshop will provide flower seeds packages upcycled from the Broad Art Museum for participants to learn about self growth. Pots will be available on site to paint for registered participants. Attendees will also be able to express their emotions in creative ways by entering a tantrum tent. These tents will allow kids to throw paint in a safe, controlled environment while learning about their emotional expressions. Although these spaces are fun, be aware it can get messy so please dress accordingly!
This workshop is targeted for middle to high school aged students that have had limited access to creative activity in their public schools due to the pandemic. This event is free, located at The Village Lansing, and is a 2 hour event from 2-4 pm.
