What's up in Lansing: Chicken Wings, Arts Night Out and more

Here's what's going on in town today

Posted

Good day on this sunny Friday.

Tonight at the fifth monthly Arts Night Out event, photographer and photojournalist Hal Gould opens his latest show in Old Town. Read about "Seeing Rectangular," and Arts Night Out, in this City Pulse article.

This Labor Day weekend, mid-Michigan locals are invited to engage in a particularly delectable labor: stuffing themselves with chicken wings. The Michigan Chicken Wing Festival returns to Adado Riverfront Park this year with a stacked lineup of food vendors and musicians, as well as its annual wing-eating contest. Last year’s People’s Choice Award winner for best wings, East Side Fish Fry, returns to defend its title. Other vendors include Finley’s Grill & Smokehouse, Finger Lickin Chicken and Big Pooh’s Chicken-n-Things. Nearly twenty performers are scheduled to take the stage throughout the weekend, including gospel singer Rashida Johnson, hip-hop artist Ceo Carter, jazz/soul group Root Doctor and Lansing’s own Mighty Medicine. Each day features inflatables and carnival games for kids as well. Noon-9 p.m. Friday-Sunday. $5/children 12 and under FREE. Adado Riverfront Park, 300 N. Grand Ave., Lansing. (517) 749-7001, michiganchickenwingfestival.com.
