Football Tailgate Weekend

Football Tailgates on the Island – September 23-25

Fall means football. You can smell it in the air, you can see it when the leaves begin to change. Put-in-Bay Ohio will always have the football games available at the bars and restaurants downtown, but the island also hosts a special weekend all about football, the Tailgate Weekend! The Tailgate Weekend comes courtesy of the Lake Erie Islands Browns Backers, in an effort to fundraise for great causes all over the Lake Erie Islands!

This year, the Tailgate Weekend falls on NFL’s Week 4. Obviously since the event is held in northern Ohio at Put-in-Bay and organized by the Lake Erie Islands Browns Backers, a lot of the focus on Sunday will be on the Browns, but all the games will be on. Also, there’s plenty of college football the night before including some big time matchups. Ohio State fans will be well represented on the island in their scarlet and grey, but the maize and blue of Michigan should be present as well. We aren’t too far from Michigan after all, and get many guests coming from Detroit. Smaller football schools in the area like Toledo and Bowling Green may also have some fans hanging out!
