SEPT. 9 >>> FLEDGE FEST

Music, art, technology, entrepreneurship and skateboarding. It's not often that these five topics merge, but at Fledge Fest, it's a necessity. Sponsored by eight local brands, it'll be the second year for this fesitival, but the first time it'll hit Lansing's streets. In 2016, the festival was in two spots in Grand Ledge, but this year it'll be right on the edge of REO Town, held in a warehouse. The event will have three stages of live music, featuring a variety of local favorites like the Lansing Unionized Vaudeville Spectacle, the Devil's Cut and more. The skateboarding comes in with the indoor skatepark and skateboarding competition to be held along with the musical acts. The event will also host an entrepreneurship event with its business pitch competition. Local food vendors will also be there. Fledge Fest 735, Hazel St., Lansing. fledgefest.com.
