The Lake Erie Island Fest is a culmination of social events that happen on Middle Bass Island near Put-in-Bay twice a summer. It's a weekend long festival that starts with a player's party on Friday night, a sporting event of your choice on Saturday followed up with another player's party on Saturday evening. It's a great way to combine your love for the islands with the sport of your choice. And all sporting events occur on the same field; creating a surreal social environment. Add the DJ and the band to the field and it’s a truly festive environment like no other. In 2008 we offered Volleyball and Cornhole. In 2009, we are working on adding a soccer tournament, triathlon, 5K run, 1K walk, an island bike tour with different stops and a bar Olympics for the party people. There are different levels of competition to accomodate all types of play. Our recreational level is for players who play maybe once a year. In this division you will find people dressed up in funny costumes and matching goofy shirts. Our Open division is for those players are very proficient at their sport. And we have everything in between. If you have any questions, please contact me at andy@lakeerieislandfest.com.

The Next Lake Erie Island Fest is June 20, 2009. Stay tuned for further details.
