Put-in-Bay 2020 Events Update
-Here’s the latest status about island events 2020 update as we go to prepare this post Keep in mind that the events that have not been canceled are subject to change.

The June 6th, 2020, Middle Bass Island Volleyball and Cornhole Tournament have been canceled.
The Put-in-Bay Music Festival scheduled for early June has been canceled and rescheduled for 2021. A rather poor decision considering the event was to take place outside.
The Pooch Parade scheduled for Saturday, June 13th, is canceled.
The dates for the Community Swim/Sail have been changed, but the programs will take place. See the news post for the dates and registration information. The Community Swim/Sail Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser is canceled for this year.

May’s Island Wide Garage Sale was canceled and has now been rescheduled for Saturday, September 26th.
The Pirate Fest originally scheduled for the end of June has been canceled. Another poor decision by an out of touch commerce department.

Bash at the Bay scheduled for Aug. 26th and 27th at the Put-in-Bay Airport has been canceled. After consulting with the headlining acts it was decided that the safety of the concert-goers out-weighed holding the event. Work is already underway to secure acts for 2021 the concert, which is slated to be a 2-day event in August. Tickets for that show will go on sale this fall. Watch the 2020 Events update for more info.
The Miller Boat Line 5K is still on for Sept. 19th, but those in charge say they are continually reviewing conditions. The Great Lakes Islands Alliance Meeting which would have brought representatives from islands all over the Great Lakes to the islands in Lake Erie has been canceled and is being planned for 2021. No word on Halloween at the Bay, but with riots, Covid-19 and an economic crisis, we’ve got plenty of scary things going on all summer. Stay tuned for the official 2020 Events Update. We will try to keep you informed as soon as our somewhat unorganized “chamber” releases information.
One thing for sure, even if an event is canceled, there are always many fun things to do at Put-in-Bay. Don’t believe the hype from some websites that claim the island is “closed” I mean who would really make such a ridiculous statement?
