As the event calendar winds down for the year, we’ve still got a couple of great occasions to enjoy, and one of the best family friendly events still on the slate is the Big Day at the Bay!

What's Happening on the Big Day?
Big Day at the Bay has combined three previously separate events into one grand island occasion! Downtown Put-in-Bay has a huge kids’ carnival accompanied by some Monte Carlo table games for the adults (not actual gambling for the record!) The Put-in-Bay volunteer Fire Department holds it’s annual Clambake fundrasier over at the Chicken Patio, and across the island, homes and businesses put out their wares for an island wide end-of-season garage sale!
