Volunteer organizer Wendy Pepin says the lineup offers a diverse mix of music designed to appeal to a wide audience.
“I’m happy with it and hope other people will be too,” Pepin said. “It took some time to bring everything together, but we’re excited for a great turnout—and hopefully great weather.”
Additional performers this season include Marrier Orchestra Revival, Winging It, Big Al & The Tomatas, Whiskey Ryan, Cash O’Riley, Finding Feathers, and Goodfellas.
Lunch on Ludington will take place every Wednesday starting June 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Pepin says the series was created to give people a break during the workday while also encouraging support for local businesses.
“We want people to come downtown, grab lunch, and enjoy the music,” she said. “It’s all about supporting our local restaurants and creating a vibrant downtown atmosphere.”
Following the concerts each Wednesday, the Escanaba Farmers Market will be open from 3 to 6 p.m.
