The Riverbank Traditional Pow Wow is at the Louise Adado Riverfront Park, Lansing, Michigan. To get to the Pow Wow and Lansing Comunity College's (LCC) Parking Garage you will need to get on Grand Ave. The blue pin is on Grand Ave. (Pictures: Shiawassee Westbound, Grand, Shiawassee Eastbound.)
The following describes the four sides of the park.
The West side of the park is North Grand Ave., which is northbound traffic only. The park is on your right (east) side, and LCC is on the left (west) side as you travel up Grand Ave.
Parking is also on the left side in LCC's Parking garage (picture). Don't worry about parking there, because LCC is one of our generous sponsors and the parking is FREE after 5pm on Friday. Thanks LCC!
The East side of the park is the mighty Grand River itself. Please -- no cars. A little farther east, accross the river, is Cedar (southbound only) and Larch (northbound only). Turn on to Shiawassee (head West), then turn right on to Grand Ave. The Louise Adado Riverfront Park is on the Lansing Rivertrail System, location F. Bicycles: Click here for map.
The North side of the park is Saginaw (M43/I-69 Business) which is east bound only. If you see the park on your right (south) side, then continue across the river to the next light and make a right on to N. Cedar Ave (M27 Business/I-96 Business). Then go to the next light and turn right on to Shiawassee and go over the river again. Next take a right at the light on to Grand Ave. Parking garage is up on the left side (see West side above).
The South side is Shiawassee. If you're coming from the east then cross the river and make a right at the light on to Grand Ave. Parking garage is up on the left side (see West side above). If you're coming from the west then pass LCC, but before you get to the bridge, turn left on to Grand Ave.
