Invasion Schedule

The 16th Annual Downtown Lansing Zombie Walk is Saturday, October 3, 2026 with registration beginning at 3pm. Arrive early to enjoy the festivities at How-To Halloween. Zombie costume contests begin at 4pm followed by our first group photo and final instructions for the walk. The horde will then shuffle onto the streets to strike fear in the hearts of onlookers and slowly make our way towards the Capitol. The spectacle continues as we gather on the landmark steps for the most amazingly horrific photo shoot that Mid-Michigan has ever seen.

Ghastly Goal

Our mission is to help fight hunger insecurity in support of the Greater Lansing Food Bank with the tagline… “Zombies Feeding Folks, NOT Eating Folks!”

The Infected

All ages of the undead and living are invited! Whether you’re one of the walking dead, a horror character, zombie hunter or an unlucky victim, or a fast-food human bean, everyone is welcome. The event is about as family friendly as a zombie walk can be, but might not be suitable for the squeamish.

Entry Into The Biohazard Zone

It’s FREE to participate in the Zombie Walk and How-To Halloween! Regular admission fees apply to enter Impression 5 Science Center and the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum.

Precarious Prizes

Get entered in a drawing for blood-curdling prizes by dropping off your non-perishable food items or cash donations for the Greater Lansing Food Bank at the Zombie Bride tent when you arrive. Prizes will also be awarded for our Best Adult Zombie and Best Teen/Kiddo Zombie Contests.

Parking During The Apocalypse

There are many of public parking lots in the downtown area, but we recommend finding a nearby spot at a meter because it’s free to park all weekend long.
