More Events... More Music... More Fun Than Ever Before!!

There are many reasons to be in Ludington in the heart of summer, and one of them is the Final Friday Experience, formerly known as Friday Night Live. Scheduled for the final Friday nights of the months April-September, this revamped event promises safe fun for the entire family.

Three blocks of Ludington Avenue between Harrison and Robert streets and the first block of South James Street to Loomis Street are closed to traffic from 3-9pm, allowing people to fill the streets and watch local entertainment.

Highlights include live music, safe activities, Baby Badger rides, shopping, scavenger hunts, and more. The Farmers Market in North James Street Plaza is also open during Final Friday Experience.

Check out Ludington Lodging for places to stay during Final Friday Experience and Ludington Restaurants for great places to eat.

Friday Night Live was a very popular event since its inception in 2005. The new Final Friday Experience is a way to change things up, but still get people into downtown Ludington. Spread over six months, you can enjoy this new event the final Friday of each month from May-September.



Adults like the local music, and Final Friday Experience is the perfect showcase for area musicians. Downtown shops welcome you with smiles and great bargains, and restaurants set up tables outside to tempt you with their specialties.

After a hectic work week or a day at the beach, Final Friday Experience is the perfect place to start your weekend. It's summer at its best, right here in this wonderful place we call Ludington.
