7th Annual APS Carnaval Celebration – Aux Petits Soins™

7th Annual APS Carnaval Celebration

Join us on Sunday, March 1, 2026, for the 7th Annual APS Carnaval Celebration!

Lansing-area French culture enthusiasts are invited to experience one of the world’s most festive celebrations –Carnaval! This explosion of color, music, costumes, and delicious food marks the days leading up to Mardi Gras.
