Downtown Lansing Zombie Walk 2024

Leave a comment

Lock your doors and board up the windows! The 14th Annual Downtown Lansing Zombie Walk returns on Saturday October 5, 2024, and registration starts at 3pm outside of Impression 5 Science Center in the Riverside Parking Lot.

It is strongly encouraged that zombies bring donations for the Greater Lansing Food Bank, and those ghoulish givers will be entered in a drawing for a prize pack worth $100. The walking dead are invited to compete in our Best Zombie Contest at 4pm (with adult and kid categories) for a total prize package valued at over $200.

Afterwards, the horde will be given instructions before being unleashed on the unsuspecting citizens. Traffic will come to a stand still as we slowly make our way to the steps of the Capitol for the most amazingly horrific photo shoot that Mid-Michigan has ever seen.

Z-Walkers must have a ticket to participate, and all ages of the undead are welcome. The advance ticket price is $5 each, and kids 4 & under walk for free.
