The ferries are running, beaches are open and there’s a full line-up of festivals and fun just waiting for you to join in. Here are 25 of the lake’s best events, plus a look at what’s new and other top ways to spend a summer day.

Hit one of these themed-trails to see Lake Erie in a new light — and enjoy birding, history, food, wine and more along the way.
