LANSING 2021 INDEPENDENCE DAYS PARKING AND OTHER INFORMATION

Lansing residents and their guests will enjoy music and fireworks at this year’s Independence Days celebration on Sat., July 3 at Bernard Park, 15650 W. Gilman Rd. To help ensure a safe and fun experience, Lansing staff is urging attendees to take advantage of our two satellite parking locations and free shuttle buses.

Parking at Bernard Park will cost $1 per vehicle after 6 p.m. Onsite parking is limited and will be first come, first served. Lansing officials are anticipating a record crowd at this year’s event and plan to run four shuttle buses – two from Lansing Elementary School, 450 W. Mary St. and two from Lansing High School, 1412 147th St. Buses will run every 15 minutes, beginning at 5 p.m. until everyone who needs a shuttle has returned to their vehicle. Riders will notice color coding on their bus to remind them which bus to take when leaving Bernard Park after the show. Buses will be parked near the Bernard Park bridge to take attendees back after the show. Patience will be the key as buses will return to the schools once they are filled to capacity. Those who aren’t taken back in the first return trip will line up near the bus stop.

So that City staff and contractors can set up for the event, Bernard Park will be closed to the public on Fri., July 2 and Sat. morning, July 3. Lansing Independence Days will begin at 12 noon with music and other family-friendly activities. Bring chairs and blankets.

Personal fireworks are banned at this event.
