Put-in-Bay June Events For 2017 Exciting & Numerous!
Put in Bay Founder’s Day • June 4th Put-in-Bay is an amazing place to be for June Events. Every weekend has special events and fun things to do here on South Bass Island. We like to think of Sunday, June 4th, as the opening day of a month-long celebration of our Put-in-Bay island community when we celebrate Founder’s Day.
Founder’s Day weekend allows us to pause and think about the vision Jose De Rivera had when he first came to the Lake Erie Islands. Over 30 different vendors and food providers share their goods from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in DeRivera Park here in downtown Put-in-Bay. We’ll have live blues music by Mojo Theory, original crafts and clothes for sale.
Water Trail Ribbon Cutting • On June 9th, we do a ribbon cutting for the new water trail system at South Bass Island State Park at 6:30 p.m. The Put-in-Bay Township Park District, along with their partners, the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Program and Ohio Sea Grant, are proud to announce Lake Erie Island Water Trails which features circular paddling routes and associated public access points around South Bass, Middle Bass, North Bass, Kelleys Island and the Catawba and Marblehead peninsular area.
