LANSING, MI 09/18/25 - IT”S HALLOWEEN BITCHES! Not really, but if you know me, all of the month of September is Halloween Eve, and then all of October is Halloween. We’re just a spooky bitch trying to spread some gruesome cheer in the year of our lord & Satan, 2025. I kid, I kid. Anyways here’s loads of fun things happening, along with some personal dates of notes you should jot down if you’re a bit of a liberal activist finding my humanitarian content to align with your “rebel” ways.
Here’s to Late September and October events around Lansing Michigan and some larger and smaller cities that are maybe an hour or 2 away from Lansing, Michigan. Some spotlighted items are TOTALLY Jacki K Approved, from attending in the past. Others might be new on the scene! While other things might even be places in the area you should check out for locale haunts, activities, and attractions. If you’re looking for a spooky good time around Michigan, you just need to ask your spooky, citizen journalist. And if she missed one of note, holla at your girl. She probably wants to know about it.

No Kings 2.0 Protest 10/18/25
At a city near you. If not, register for one and organize! We had the largest protest in the USA back in June. Let’s do it again! As more locations pop up, I’ll get the word out! I’ll see you in Lansing, Michigan.
GlenLore Trails - spooky outdoor, interactive walk
This is an ADORABLE outdoor Halloween activity just on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan. I visited Glenlore trails in 2024 for my wedding anniversary and loved the interactive spooky walk! It was an incredible time. Pro-tip, spend the extra few bucks on the interactive wand for bit more magic on the trail. Have your phone fully charged, and don’t miss out on the mirror art exhibit with skulls and such!
Great for families. It is pretty dark at open, and not AS busy, if you prefer a smaller crowd, grab your tickets for opening. AND they offer an adults only evening too. Its about an hour long walk if your strolling. And adult night example comes with a live band and tickets available for 10/10 right now.
Opening September 25th, 2025
Located at 3860 Newton Road, Commerce Township, MI 48382.
Awaken Haunt Attraction - Ingham County
One of the few local haunt attractions near Lansing, Mi, Awaken has loads of events throughout the year and celebrity events throughout October. This year they have cast of Annabelle Comes home, and in the past they’ve had actors from Friday the 13th and more classics. While I attended the haunt 2 years ago, performers were walking the line and my husband got to hold pet a snake too.
Hiisssssss.
Zoo Boo Detroit Zoo
Haven’t been to this myself, but seems like a good time on their website. Loads of fun family friendly scares and things to see at the Detroit Zoo Boo.
Jack o Lanterns Unleased - Ingham County Fairgrounds
100s, maybe thousands of carved pumpkins and cool designs. From Ghostface to giant dinosaurs made out of pumpkins, and cows a chickens. This is another strolling, outdoor event with loads of things to see. No interactive wand needed for this. It’s about a 40 minute walk, and can be in a muddy, rainy area, so keep that in mind. Great for a date night or for families to enjoy.
Lansing, Michigan may have more events happening of note and other cool businesses that opened throughout February and Mid-March.
She suggests readers use other really great resources, like 517 Lansing and Choose Lansing to find out about events happening around you and new businesses!
