There is live music, an outdoor marketplace, community events, Ludington Park, Bonifas Arts Center, Escanaba Public Library and Delta County Historical Museum and Sand Point Lighthouse.
Ludington Street has been the pulse of Escanaba since the 1800s when ships first came into the area. Today, Ludington Street stretches all way from Ludington Park to Lincoln Road. In fact, Escanaba has the longest small-town downtown in Michigan, jam packed with unique shops, great restaurants and dedicated businesses ready to welcome you. It’s time to rediscover the street that made Escanaba.
