A non-profit event produced by Art Festival Board of Directors under the auspices of the East Lansing Arts Commission/City of East Lansing.
Established in 1964, The East Lansing Art Festival kicks off the festival season every Spring on the weekend prior to the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the beautiful streets of downtown East Lansing. The popular Festival attracts an estimated 60,000 attendees from across the region.
East Lansing is a charming University town with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, galleries and the beautiful Michigan State University campus across the street. (Please note that the MSU UAB Spring Craft fair is not affiliated with the East Lansing Art Festival)
This long-standing non-profit event is beloved by the 
community of Greater Lansing and attracts devoted art buyers from across the state. Informally known as the "City of the Arts" the City of East Lansing welcomes the finest artists in North America to exhibit at this highly promoted event.
Here is what else you will like:
- well-educated visitors, including professional people from State government and the University
- dedicated volunteers who welcome artists with friendly smiles facilitation a smooth load in and out
- booth sitting services
- well-planned eclectic live music entertainment that enhances the art rather than distracts from it
- international flavors is a unique food court
- a festive mood as this is the kickoff of the art fair season
- affiliation with the Public TV and radio stations, bringing the right people to you

Good for you! It will be a good change of pace for you. Why don't you post this question in the discussions where you'll get many more people seeing the question and better feedback?
Hi Connie!
We are artists from NYC and this year are trading out the local street fairs for some national art shows. East Lansing is our first one of the season (gonna be a long drive!), and I was wondering if you had any advice or pointers about this particular show. Thanks!
