Festival of the Fish

About

Running since 1966, Festival of the Fish is a three-day waterfront celebration held each Father's Day weekend in downtown Vermilion, Ohio. The 60th annual edition (2026) honors the town's fishing heritage with a mix of local food vendors, arts and crafts, live music, parades, pageants, and the Crazy Craft Regatta—a lighted boat parade on the Vermilion River culminating in fireworks over Lake Erie. Craft and food vendors welcome; apply online and secure your space with full payment.
