There will be two categories for judging: residential and business, and cash prizes include a $100 first place, $75 second place, and $50 third place. Winners will be chosen based on votes by the general public and will be published on social media on December 28th. A map of entries will be provided to light-hunters by the Chamber.

Stay tuned for information on the Aglow on the Avenue Parade 2021!

Bring the family to Ludington's Aglow on the Avenue Parade. This is a great way to kick off the holiday season and welcome Santa to town!

The event is generally held the Saturday after Thanksgiving and coincides with the Small Business Saturday "Shop Locally" promotions, when most stores downtown are open for holiday shopping from 11am-7pm. You can select your tree from the Christmas Tree Lot downtown, enjoy a holiday craft show at the Art Center, and visit with Santa after the parade at Sandcastles Children's Museum.

The Aglow on the Avenue Parade and activities are presented by the Ludington & Scottville Area Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Downtown Ludington Board.
