Set sail for one of the most iconic sailing weekends on Lake Erie! Sail Away at the Bay celebrates the historic Invitational Mills Trophy Race, a legendary competition that dates back to 1907. What started as a test of navigation skills has grown into one of the region’s most respected sailing events. Today, sailors from across the Great Lakes gather to take part in this unique overnight race, making their way across the lake before finishing in the harbor at Put-in-Bay.
Throughout the weekend, the docks fill with hundreds of beautiful sailboats. Visitors can stroll the waterfront, admire the impressive fleet as crews prepare for the race and celebrate once they cross the finish line. Sailor or spectator, it’s a lively weekend you won’t forget!
Accessible via the Jet Express from Port Clinton or Sandusky.
