There’s no better place to be in the summer than at the Ludington State Park. In addition to camping, tubing, hiking, biking, and fishing- the State Park offers special summer programs that are both educational and fun. Don’t miss the unique experience of enjoying an evening of live music in the open-air amphitheater surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ludington State Park. You may even see wildlife come close to listen as well. These events are made possible through money raised by The Friends of the Ludington State Park.

Programs are held in the State Park Amphitheater or the Lake Michigan Beach House. Updates are posted on Bulletin Boards located throughout the State Park.
