LAKE FRONT CALENDAR of EVENTS...

2023 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.

Summer Is Here!

This is the time of year I - and probably most of us - dream about during the cold winter months.

Summertime is here! For me, it kicks into gear Saturday, June 10, with the Arts and Crafts Fest at Water Works Park in Port Clinton. I am volunteering for the event, which is sponsored by the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council. I hope to see you there! The variety and quality of art is truly impressive.

I'll be a customer at another event - the Port Clinton Women's Club Arts & Crafts Show - at Lakeview Park in Port Clinton on July 9. I'm also looking forward to the Port Clinton Artists' Club show in August.

The Village of Milan has a fun new event on June 12. The "Small Town Summer Night" is from 5 to 8 p.m. in the village square, and features food trucks, music, family-friendly games, and more.

The Parties at the Pier are back! The Vindys play June 29. The July 6 concert is a Santana tribute band, and the July 13 concert is a Journey tribute band. More concerts follow in July and August. Food vendors will be at the Jackson Street Pier in Sandusky for the events.

May And June Miscellaneous

The GPCAAC will also hold the Arts and Crafts Festival June 10 at Water Works Park. Come see the handmade artwork, including jewelry, photography, sculpture, and more! The event will also include food vendors and crafts for kids.

Put-in-Bay will be busy the second weekend of June! The Lakefest Music Festival is June 8 through 11. Founder's Day and the Pooch Parade are June 10, and Put-in-Bay Pride is June 12. What interests me most, though, is the Benson Ford Shiphouse Tours on June 11. Several years ago I was lucky enough to tour that residence, and I found it to be an amazing mix of history and ingenuity. I would definitely tour it again! On an unrelated note, Put-in-Bay is gearing up for Pyrate Fest June 23-26 I didn't realize the event includes cardboard boat races and sword-fighting demonstrations.

The Marblehead Lighthouse is a favorite destination year-round. It will be open for tours starting the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. The Keeper's House and Lifesaving Stations museums will also open for the season on that day.
