The band will also be asking the audience to contribute to its George F.

Attendees should bring a lawn chair or blanket. The band shell is located adjacent to the former Scottville Optimist Club. 

On Independence Day the band will march in the Manistee National Forest Festival parade in Manistee at 10 a.m. and then will end the Ludington Area Jaycees Freedom Festival parade, which begins at 2 p.m.

Following the Ludington parade, the band will perform a short show at the Ludington Beach House Inn at the intersection of Ludington Avenue and Lakeshore Drive and then will play at the American Legion on North James Street.
