Downtown Ludington Sidewalk Sales

August 7th-9th, 2026

Summer’s not over yet and there are summer bargains to be found all weekend during downtown Ludington’s Sidewalk Sale Days in early August. Many participating businesses are open Friday and Saturday nights until 9pm and Sundays, 12pm to 6pm.

Merchants want to make room for their fall inventory, so they’re moving their summer merchandise out on the sidewalk. Browse through the racks and shelves and load up without spending a fortune. Clothes, shoes, art, jewelry, home furnishings- it’s all on sale from your friendly Ludington businesses.
