When Port Clinton puts on the Walleye Festival you can be sure you are getting the festival to outdo all community festivals. Where else do the local kids and teenagers prefer to spend their weekend at a festival when they only live 20 minutes from the worlds best amusement park?

In Port Clinton, of course!


But kids and teenagers aren't the only people who enjoy a day or a weekend at the Walleye Festival...

The beer tent is a popular place for the adults to spend their time. Live entertainment from great bands throughout the five day event keeps parents in the cool shade while enjoying draft beer, wine coolers, bratwurst and fries.


A dance floor between the band and the tables is a great place for the ladies to gather for some good old fashioned girl talk while the gentlemen gather for beer tickets.


Travelers enjoy the bargains at vendor tables set alongside the Walleye Festival walkways while we all enjoy some very guilty food icluding gyros, bbq ribs, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn and onion rings.

Whether you come to try to win the big stuffed animal, line up for exciting rides, participate in a community organization fundraiser, hunt down bargains, eat like a kid again or enjoy a great band, you're definately going to enjoy the Port Clinton Walleye Festival.


The five day Walleye Festival takes place each May beginning the Thursday before Memorial Day lasting through Monday. For further information about exact dates, times and events visit our May calendar of events, or the Walleye Festival website.
