Silver Bells Kickoff
Calvin Jones (BWL) & Toys for Tots Mark Nixon (BWL) Chris Holman The entire evening is also filled with free family entertainment including free admission to Lansing’s cultural institutions, horse-drawn wagon rides on Washington Square, and performances by more than 50 local arts and cultural institutions throughout downtown Lansing. Each year, Silver Bells in the City is coordinated by the Arts Council of Greater Lansing with the assistance of a hard working 34 member coordinating committee. Silver Bells in the City is made possible each year through the generosity of nearly 100 area sponsors who contribute more than $80,000 in cash and $120,000 in in-kind support. We greatly thank each and every contributor for their support! To help support Silver Bells in the City, please consider making a personal contribution. http://www.silverbellsinthecity.org/ Schedule of EventsWASHINGTON SQUARE, 200 N. block12:00-9:00pm "The Toy Mill"-Sponsored by the Lansing Board of Water & Light to Benefit Toys for Tots LANSING CITY HALL 5:15-6:00pm Greater Lansing Gay Men's Chorus 8:00-8:30pm Capitol City Jass Society-Instrumental Jazz MAINSTAGE, Corner of Michigan & Capitol Following Parade Lighting of Michigan's Official Christmas Tree & Fireworks Display (Fireworks Weather Permitting) ST.
