As the sun sets on 2024, here are just a few of our favorite photos in Greater Lansing this past year.

As you swipe through, you'll see the new Lansing letters painted by local artists, just a few of many incredible local events and festivals that took place this year, an evening home game cheering on the Michigan State Spartans, one of many summer outdoor music events that the community enjoyed, and most recently, the 40th year of Silver Bells in the City.

There is so much on the horizon for the Lansing area, and we can't wait to see what 2025 holds!

We've only skimmed the surface of the great things that happened in the region in 2024. What was one of your favorite Lansing-area memories this year?
