How-To Halloween 2026

How-To Halloween is a family-friendly festival that celebrates creativity, imagination and the innovative spirit of the frightfully fun season!

Discover a wicked wonderland of interactive exhibits, unique vendors, spookalicious food and amazing entertainment! Our mission is to inspire kids and the ‘kids at heart’ to get goose bumps for the creative process as they participate in many hands-on activities, how-to sessions and immersive experiences.

Fire up your proton packs because we’re busting GHOSTS for our 11th annual extravaganza! Meet the members of the local Ghostbuster fan groups along with Michigan Beetlejuice as you venture through the haunted cemetery on a thrilling journey to search for supernatural spirits appearing around every corner of the spooky trail. BOO!

Everyone is invited to many outdoor attractions and festivities happening in the Riverside Parking Lot of Impression 5 Science Center which is FREE to attend!

There is also special programming inside the science center (regular admission fee to enter) including the experienced professionals from Southern Michigan Paranormals who will be sharing spine-tingling stories about the mysterious places they’ve visited across the state and showing off all the high-tech gear they use to detect ghostly phenomena.

We also have trick-or-treating for the kids outside along with costume contests, character appearances and the Downtown Lansing Zombie Walk. So mark your calendar, tell your friends and get your costume ready for a spooktacular day on Saturday October 4th from 11am-5pm on the grounds of Impression 5.

Please contact us if you have any questions or if you’d like to participate as a vendor, exhibitor, entertainer or sponsor of How-To Halloween, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Happy Halloween! – from ROBOT PUMPKIN

MEGGAXP 2026

Michigan’s Entertainment, Gaming, Geek and Arts Experience is BACK for MeggaXP 2026!!! After a 6 year hiatus, we brought MeggaXP back in 2025 for our 10 year anniversary, and we are running it back again for 2026!!!

You can do all kinds of things. For starters, there is a vendor room with over 50 vendors setup selling you anything and everything from the world of pop culture. Original art, books, collectibles, toys, models, jewelry, movies, posters, you name it – if it’s pop culture related, it’s there! On top of that, we have huge gaming rooms filled with tons of free to play video games, board games, card games, and more! We also have a cosplay contest at 3pm, and tons of live action game shows going throughout the day! Our event schedule will be posted as time goes on, but know that in the past we have done things like Name That Tune, Geekly Feud, Jeopardy, Star Wars Trivia, Surviving the Line, A Room Divided, and tons more! The best part? ALL of the experiences during the regular show hours are included for ONE PRICE!

How much does it cost to attend MeggaXP?
This event is designed to be affordable for everyone! Adult tickets are $15, high school students are $10, and middle school and younger kids are $5. Military past and present get in free as well!

Space Dive May 8th and 9th 2026

21+
costumes mandatory

May 8th and 9th 2026
Step into a galaxy far, far away as the Tangent Gallery again becomes an immersive recreation of the Mos Eisley Cantina!

It is a lawless time.

Crime syndicates, corporations, and bandits compete for resources –
spice, booze, hyperfuel, weapons, death sticks, harlotry and medicine.

The Empire is too incompetent to reign us in and too cruel to bother.
Corruption runs rampant, from the Senate to Imperial High Command, local checkpoints and everywhere in between.

Fascist tyranny breeds opportunity in the Outer Rim, and
greed can be a powerful ally.

While the local garrison has seized our theater,
officers can be bought and stormtroopers are outnumbered.
If the time comes, they may find it harder to hold than it was to take.

This is the underbelly, the spaceport hive where all the gangsters, thugs, trash, and scoundrels of the galaxy come to gamble, find work, and drink to oblivion when they can’t. Here you can bargain for whatever you desire, and business is booming.

Just watch your step, this place can be a little rough.
