Kiss Winter Goodbye At Burning Snowman!
Get to Dock’s Beach House in Port Clinton on Saturday, February 28, and say sayonara to the Burning Snowman! This awesome community festival brings people together from all around northwest Ohio, raises a ton of money for good causes, and provides a cathartic moment of satisfaction, as we channel the spirit of the cold and gloomy winter into a snowman, and then BURN IT DOWN!

A Great Way To Spend A Saturday Evening *Close* To PIB
Even though Burning Snowman happens on the mainland, it’s a cherished Put-in-Bay event. It represents a chance to get everyone from our community together for the last time before we all head to the Bay in the spring. We’re metaphorically shooing winter away and welcoming in Put-in-Bay season! Join us as we tell winter to get lost, and support some great community causes. See you at Burning Snowman!
