Join Michigan State University Extension and Michigan 4-H on March 1 for the 20th celebration of Michigan 4-H Day at the Breslin! This fun family event will be held at the Jack Breslin Student Events Center as the MSU Women’s Basketball team takes on the Ohio State Buckeyes!

“We’re excited to be returning to the Breslin for the 20th year of this exciting event,” said Jodi Schulz, state leader for Michigan 4-H and co-director of MSU Extension children and youth programs. “We look forward to gathering with our 4-H friends and family to celebrate a day of fun, camaraderie and basketball!”

Those interested in attending can purchase tickets at a price of $7.50 plus fees. This is a discounted rate available to the Michigan 4-H and MSU Extension communities; complimentary tickets are no longer available due to the rising popularity of college sports. MSU Extension and Michigan 4-H youth, volunteers, partners, stakeholders, alumni, staff and their families are all encouraged to attend.

Tickets can be purchased through a two-step process. First, guests should register at https://events.anr.msu.edu/4HBreslin2026/. Within one week, registrants will receive a custom purchase link to the email provided in registration. Attendees must then use this custom link to purchase tickets for the event. Additional ticketing information is available on the registration website. Registration will close on February 17.

Tip-off for the game is scheduled for 12 p.m. Gates to the Breslin will open at 10:30 a.m., with a variety of pre-game activities hosted by MSU Extension professionals around the concourse. Participants are encouraged to show their pride and wear green and white 4-H or MSU Extension apparel.

“Michigan 4-H Day at the Breslin has long been a beloved event in our state,” said Lisa Bottomley, co-director of MSU Extension children and youth programs. “Although there are some changes this year, we’re glad to see it continuing and hope to see many members of the Michigan 4-H and MSU Extension community there.”

Visitors to Breslin Center events must comply with MSU’s clear bag policy. For more information on this event, contact your local MSU Extension office. Send additional questions to Raye Host at hostrae1@msu.edu.
