Join us Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, for the 6th Annual APS Carnaval Celebration! Lansing-area French culture enthusiasts will have a chance to take part in one of the biggest parties in the world – Carnaval! This explosion of color, music and food is the big lead-up to Mardi Gras, and while most Michiganders will be indulging in paczki, we’ll commemorate this annual feast with authentic French beignets!
This family-friendly event is designed to offer something fun for every age group:
Immersion Class for Little Ones (Ages 0-5)
A lively French-immersion session filled with songs, movement and age-appropriate activities to keep the youngest learners engaged and smiling.
Craft Table for Older Kids
Children ages 5+ can let their imaginations run wild as they create the perfect accessory for their Carnaval costume — masks, crowns and colorful decorations inspired by Mardi Gras traditions.
Beignet Demo
Families will also have the chance to watch how beignets are made, providing a delicious window into a beloved French celebration.
