A Tradition Over 20 Years Strong
More than two decades ago, the Spring Fling began as a small gathering of friends around a fire, complete with a couple of beers. Its success inspired the Island Club to host both the Spring Fling and the Fall Ball, cementing them as signature Put-in-Bay events. While the original Spring Fling and Fall Ball were held at the end of the 100’s street in the Island Club, the events now take place in the Island Club Pavilion, providing an even better setting for the festivities.
