August in Ludington means free movies, on three Thursday nights at dusk in Ludington’s Rotary Park (formerly City Park). Families bring chairs and blankets and find a spot on the cool grass to watch a fun, family friendly movie in the park.

Kids activities that go along with the feature film’s theme and free rides for kids on the S.S. Baby Badger are offered from 7:30pm until about 8:45pm, when the movie starts. Popcorn will be sold by the LHS Business Professionals of America Club throughout the movie as a fundraiser for their group. You may also bring your own snacks. The movies are sponsored by OxyChem and Evergreen Foods Market.

Make a night of it by first visiting one of many great Ludington restaurants for a delicious dinner and top it off with an ice cream cone from a local ice cream parlor! And if you still have extra time before the movie begins at sunset, take a walk to Ludington’s North Breakwater Lighthouse off the Stearns Park Beach.
