Due to an unexpected HVAC issue and lack of heat at Aux Petits Soins, the Carnaval Celebration originally scheduled for February 22 has been postponed to March 1, 2026.
Join us Sunday, February 22, 2026 (now March 1st), 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.
Cost: $15 per person – All attendees must have a ticket.
