Island Green Week 2024
“Celebrate the Nature of the Islands” on Lake Erie
PRESS RELEASE
To experience the natural beauty and unique ecology that islands offer, travelers do not have to drive for countless hours or fly over numerous countries to see such sights. Lake Erie has dozens of islands that all have one-of-kind characteristics that bring in visitors who are ready to explore.
If searching for adventure or looking to make special memories, come join us for Island Green Week! From August 3rd to August 10th, 2024, the Islands are hosting a variety of events focused on showcasing different aspects of the breathtaking beauty of the Lake Erie Islands. This includes stargazing at Perry’s Monument, a Poker Kayak Day at Middle Bass Island, the 12th
annual Pig Roast at the Goat, tours of important historic sites, like the ruins of Hotel Victory, hands-on science and nature days, and so much more! Whether only visiting for a day or planning for a week-long vacation, Island Green Week has exciting events scheduled every day that are inclusive for the whole family.
Island Green Week activities will be hosted on the following islands: Put-in-Bay (South Bass),
Middle Bass, Gibraltar, and Kelleys. The wide variety of events offered throughout the week
provides all nature explorers, history lovers, and casual sightseers with an experience they will
remember. In addition to the planned events, visitors are encouraged to check out the numerous
preserves and parks that showcase the island’s unfiltered beauty.
This week of activities was first hosted in 2016 as an effort to engage visitors with the natural
world and increase the amount of ecotourism to the Lake Erie Islands. Since then, Green Week
has continued to grow and welcome even more travelers each year.
We encourage you to mark your calendars to join us for Green Week activities this August. To
