Bunny Hop on the Square

In celebration of Easter on Sunday (March 31), Downtown Lansing Inc. will host its annual Bunny Hop on the Square noon to 2 p.m. Saturday (March 30), inviting Greater Lansing residents to collect free candy and treats from downtown businesses along South Washington Square. Many of the businesses will offer deals and promotions during the event.

"We are thrilled to once again bring the community together for Bunny Hop on the Square," said Cathleen Edgerly, executive director of Downtown Lansing Inc. "It's a fantastic event that offers a great afternoon for families to enjoy the festive spirit of the season while exploring all downtown Lansing has to offer."

Prior to the Bunny Hop, JCI Lansing will host its 60^th annual Easter Egg Hunt on the Capitol Lawn, featuring photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny and other mascots, live music by community street band Splendid Chaos, balloon twisting, face painting, crafts, games, raffles and more. The free event runs 10 to 11:30 a.m., with egg scrambles for ages 3 and under at 10:30, ages 4 to 6 at 10:45 and ages 7 and up at 11.

Following the Bunny Hop, the Capital City Market’s One-Hop Shop, running 1 to 4 p.m., will offer free samples from several Michigan-based vendors and treats for kids 12 and under at each sample station.
