Bring the family to Ludington’s Aglow on the Avenue Parade. This is a great way to kick off the holiday season and welcome Santa to town!
The event is generally scheduled for the Saturday after Thanksgiving at 6pm and coincides with the Small Business Saturday “Shop Locally” promotions, when most stores downtown are open for holiday shopping from 10am-7pm.
The Aglow on the Avenue Parade and activities are presented by the Ludington & Scottville Area Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Downtown Ludington Board. In addition to sales and the parade, Nickelson Tree Farms will present a pop-up tree lot, live music will be provided by the Ludington High School Band and Choir, and there will be a vendor show in Legacy Plaza from 4-7pm.
