Common Ground happens in downtown Lansing along the banks of the Grand River in Adado Riverfront Park. Common Ground is an event for all your senses. This annual celebration features an outstanding line-up of musical acts, focusing on top-level, national, contemporary music performers, scores of food vendors, and a dynamic display of outdoor interactive activities for kids. With an attractive, intimate venue, state-of-art production and a comprehensive array of patron amenities, the festival is the premier special event of the summer in the greater Lansing region.

Common Ground features an impressive array of headline, national-level entertainment each night starting on Monday, and expands into all-day and night attractions Saturday and Sunday. The event's core components... music, food, and activities, are designed with the goal of entertaining and satisfying people of all ages and backgrounds.

Common Ground utilizes a multi-day admission pass concept to provide festival patrons unlimited access to the entire event for one economical price. Individual day passes are available, but the best value is the "Common Card" that can be used solely, or shared with family or friends from day to day.
