Family-friendly activities begin at 10 a.m., including face painting, inflatables and a petting zoo. The Easter Egg Hunt will start promptly at 10:30 a.m., with children searching for colorful eggs in designated age groups: 0–2, 3–5, 6–7 and 8–10.
Parents are encouraged to bring cameras for photos with the Easter Bunny, who will be available for special picture opportunities. Families should also bring a basket or bag so children can collect their eggs and treats.

A Caregiver’s Butterfly Garden – Exhibit at the City of East Lansing's Hannah Community Center

Event Description

Experience A Caregiver’s Butterfly Garden, a powerful art and storytelling exhibit created by MSU's IMPART Alliance and AgeAlive, in partnership with the City of East Lansing.

This vibrant installation honors Michigan’s Direct Care Workers (DCWs) — the professionals who provide essential daily support for older adults and people with disabilities. Each butterfly in the exhibit carries a handwritten message from a caregiver, folded into art that transforms individual reflections into a collective symbol of compassion, resilience, and advocacy.

Curated by East Lansing artist-in-residence Zahrah Resh, the exhibit combines creativity, community, and awareness to highlight the urgent need for a stronger direct care workforce across Michigan—one that receives fair wages, training, and recognition for their vital work.

Visitors are invited to explore the garden, learn about the project, and reflect on the importance of caregiving in our communities.
