CANCELED for 2021...

A sure-fire way to beat cabin fever is with Ludington's premier winter event... the Pure Ludington Brrrewfest! The 2020 event was held on Saturday, January 25th from 1-6pm in Ludington's Rotary Park. More than 20 breweries came to Ludington to offer patrons a taste of the best and most unique flavors of beers, wines, ciders and meads from all around Michigan.
Tickets are usually $30/person in advance online or $35/at door, and include six drink tokens and a 5oz. commemorative tasting glass. Each token is good for 5 oz. of beer or cider. Five additional tokens can be purchased for $5. There is also generally live music to enjoy.
The beneficiary of Pure Ludington Brrrewfest are the Friends of the Ludington State Park.
