August in Ludington means free movies, every Thursday night 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.

Here are the movies that played in 2019:

• The Lego Movie 2
• Ralph Breaks the Internet
• Mary Poppins Returns
• Dumbo

Stay tuned for information on the 2020 Movies in the Park Series!

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.

Movies in the Park are sponsored by House of Flavors and Evergreen Natural Foods Market.
