Crisp autumn air, Friday night lights, and pumpkin spice. Fall is officially here!
As much as we love the beginning of this season, it means the end of the another. Our last crossings of the year will take place on Sunday, October 11th.
Which means there's less than a week to come aboard the Badger before she goes into hibernation!
If you're looking for a quick fall getaway or one last hoorah on the carferry, take a look at what's going on this October.
Last Open Boat Night - Oct. 9th
If you can't cross the lake again this season, Open Boat Night is a great alternative to fit in one last Badger experience in Ludington!
For $10, guests are invited to come aboard from 8:00pm to 11:00pm and explore the passenger areas at their own pace, or enjoy live entertainment from Ben Paetz in the Cabana Room.
Our Gift Shop, Concessions, and full-service Bars will all be open, offering snacks, beverages, and unique souvenirs to enhance your visit.
Whether you’re meeting friends, spending time with family, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of this historic vessel, Open Boat Night is the perfect casual outing.
