KELLYS ISLAND FEST

JULY 17-19

Island Fest returns to Kelleys Island for a full weekend of summer fun, bringing together live music, food and family-friendly activities in one of Lake Erie’s favorite island traditions. This year’s theme is “The Pursuit of Happiness Starts Here! An All American Summer.”

Enjoy craft and food vendors throughout the festival, along with a parade on Saturday morning, street dances on Friday and Saturday night and fireworks lighting up the lake at dusk on Saturday. One of the highlights of the weekend is the all-out patriotic decorating—boats, golf carts, bikes and floats decked out in red, white and blue. With free admission and something happening around every corner, just show up and enjoy the day!

Accessible via the Jet Express from Port Clinton or Sandusky.
