7th Annual Festival Brings an Afternoon of Revelry to the Lakeshore 

Enjoy a bit of Michigan’s finest winter magic at the Pure Ludington Brrrewfest, returning to this quaint lakeshore town on January 29. This is a sure cure for the winter blues: Put on your warmest long underwear, gather your friends and hustle to Legacy Plaza for an afternoon of sipping!  

Here, you will find crafters from 25 Michigan breweries, a warming tent, festival food and a rockin’ entertainment stage. Sample beer, cider, wine and mead from 1-6 p.m.  

Music will be provided by a deejay, delivering a rounded mix of dance tunes to the delight of festival-goers. You won’t want to miss the amazing Southern barbecue of The Q Smokehouse or the fun selection of specialty dogs from Lakeside Wiener Wagon. 

Pre-sale tickets are available now at discounted rates. Grab yours now for just $35 until January 28. Admission is $40 at the door. All tickets include 6 drink tokens for 6 samples; additional tokens will be for sale on site. 

Looking for other things to do in Ludington? Check out one of our local breweries, Ludington Bay Brewing Company or Jamesport Brewing. Hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are favorite activities at the state park. Or you might try fat-tire biking with the rental from one of our local bicycle shops. If you’re in search of lodging in the Ludington area, a list of accommodations can be found here. 

**Proceeds from this event benefit Friends of the Ludington State Park, a non-profit volunteer group which cares for the local park. The Friends group adds programs, activities and volunteer support where needed for items not traditionally funded by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. This year’s endeavor is to raise funding for an all-terrain vehicle for use by people with disabilities who visit the park.
