Don’t Miss the Middle Bass Music Festival – July 17
Middle Bass Island State Park and Lonz Winery Patio and Pavilion will be rockn’ and a rolling, jumpin’ and a jiving and generally a fun place to be on July 17th, 2021, when the Middle Bass Music Festival rolls into town. It’s going to be a great time with live music, artist demonstrations, food trucks, beer, wine, and all your neighbors hanging out enjoying some Middle Bass Island charm.
We look forward to the sounds of The Chardon Polka Band – A wildly entertaining look at polkas in the modern age, Cats on Holiday a Zydeco and Funk Folk Band from Cleveland, Sonic Boom fusion jazz from Middle Bass, and the super hot blues guitar of Sam Hooper and his Blues Band from Cleveland. There will be an artist tent where guests will have an opportunity to explore different art mediums. When you get hungry you can enjoy the BBQ from Jimmy G’s or The Port Clinton Rotary Perch Wagon, and to quench your thirst get some beer from Catawba Island Brewing Company, and wine from Heineman’s.
