The 2nd Annual Westside Sumer Fest drew in more than 5,000 people to enjoy top-notch musical entertainment, a wide variety of food, art, and non-profit vendors, and countless activities for kids. The event also generated positive publicity for our area, with prominent articles in the Lansing State Journal and City Pulse, describing how the Westside is uniting and revitalizing.
