About Ludrock Nation

Ludrock is an all-day music event held annually on a weekend close to Ludington's July 4th Freedom Festival. The Ludrock entertainment roster includes performances by dozens of musicians.

Rock on with Ludrock!

Just when you thought the summer in Ludington couldn't be filled with even more fun and entertainment, Ludington area graduates organized Ludrock, a wonderful event enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. In 2016 this was held July 9-10 in Ludington's Rotary Park (formerly City Park). Held on a weekend close to Ludington's popular Freedom Festival, Ludrock features live music from local bands and musicians, and it's a don't miss event for the entire family. New in 2016 was a Kids Crafts Area. Food, drinks and event memorabilia are available for purchase. Ludrock raised more than $40,000 in 2016.

Ludrock is a nonprofit organization inspired by the power of music to benefit the identified needs of the Ludington area. Ludrock's vision is to motivate and inspire current and future generations of musicians and provide an outlet to give back to the community.

Ludrock Donates to the Community

Proceeds from the 2016 Ludrock activities will benefit the Ludington Area Center for the Arts for improvements to its Performance Hall, the Ludington Area Schools Youth Resource Center, Staircase Youth Services and Sandcastles Children's Museum. Other beneficiaries will be the Bob Parker Music Scholarship Fund, Hospitality Inc. and the Food Bank at Lakeshore Resource Network. The Ludington Area Jaycees will operate the food and beverage concessions, using the proceeds for its many community-based projects.
Ludington Cornhole Association will sponsor a Cornhole Tournament on Sunday as part of Ludrock festivities. Registration is at 3:30 and is $10 per team. Proceeds go to charities.
