The event brought an estimated 12,000 people to downtown Ludington and the event required a massive need for volunteers as well as consumers, as the entire sundae had to be eaten.
The Guinness Book of World Records confirmed on October 19th, 2017, that Ludington had secured the world record for longest ice cream sundae. Prior to this, the city of Manurewa, New Zeeland was the record holder for building and consuming an ice cream sundae that measured 1,957 feet in length in February of 2015.
Moo-ville Creamery in Nashville, Michigan also made an attempt on September 17th, 2016, when they constructed a sundae that was 3,656 long. Guinness verified the attempt and Moo-ville became the new record holder.
The event was held in conjunction with the "Love Ludington" weekend, with numerous other events, including:
Ludington also broke the world record in June of 2017 when the Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital Foundation hosted an attempt to have the most number of people making sand angels at one time.
