LAKE FRONT CALENDAR of EVENTS...

2024 Calendar of Events

By Catharine Hadley, Arts and Entertainment Editor, catharinehadley@gmail.com

The theme of this column is "trying new things." I'm happy to be starting this new project of writing the entertainment column for Leisure Living Magazine! I've done all I could to make the entertainment listing complete and varied, so there should be something for everyone. Although I've done my best to make sure all the information is accurate, please go online or call ahead to confirm your plans.

Any suggestions and details of your upcoming events can be sent to me at catharinehadley@gmail.com.

Autumn Fun At The Islands

It's that "off-season is our season" time of year, when the area is a bit cooler and calmer. Autumn on the islands is especially beautiful. Enjoy Big Day at the Bay, Sale Away Weekend, and the Put-in-Bay Fire Department 48th Annual clambake Dinner Sept. 21 on Put-in Bay.

Kelleys Island has fun events in October. The Harvest Fest and KIPD Pig Roast is Oct. 5, and family Halloween featuring family hay rides at the 4-H camp is Oct. 12. One of my favorite memories of Kelleys Island is taking a long walk on the west side of the island in the autumn, watching the sunset through the changing leaves.

A Spooky Halloween

If you want more spooky fun, adult Halloween is Oct. 19 on Kelleys Island and Oct. 25-27 on Put-in-Bay. On the mainland, the Sandusky Witches Walk is in its 13th year! Gather your fellow witches on Oct. 19 for a costume parade and contest, a dance, an official "opening spell," music, entertainment, prizes, and specials from local businesses. All the fun is in the downtown area, with the costume contest at the Jackson Street Pier.

Downtown Vermilion is a little gem for shopping - and in October it becomes a spooky gem! Shake, Rattle, & Stoll is an annual event where the downtown businesses decorate their store windows with skeletons and other scary sights.

Seniors Can Talk To The Animals

African Safari Wildlife Park, east of Port Clinton, will celebrate seniors ages 62 and up with a reduced admission of $12 every Tuesday in September and October. The discount is only available in person.

Toledo Zoo and Aquarium offers Harvest Fest fun throughout October. Seniors can take advantage of free admission on Wednesdays in September and October.

Please submit suggestions for the Holiday edition of Leisure Living Magazine to catharinehadley@gmail.com by October 31. It will be mailed on November 21.
