Attractions
There is always something to do in Lake County, Ohio. Feast on sun, lake and perch fry at the PerchFest in Fairport Harbor. Sip tasty wines and food at the annual Vintage Ohio wine festival in Kirtland. Watch the Lake County Captains play baseball at Classic Stadium in Eastlake.
The annual Vintage Ohio wine festival, the most acclaimed wine and food festival between the Appalachians and the Rockies, is held annually at Lake Metroparks Farmpark, attracting 30,000 visitors every year.
The Lake County PerchFest™, an event unique to Lake County, is a fish fry festival promoting the highly desired Lake Erie yellow perch. Music, a karaoke contest, a fishing contest and more are all part of this fun event.
The 9/11 America Remembers
Memorial has a remnant from each crash site. Steel beams, stone and light fixtures from the World Trade Center, a piece of the Pentagon building and turf from the fields of Shanksville, Pa., have been solemnly exhibited in a permanent, impressively designed, outdoor display alongside the Boulevard of 500 Flags in Eastlake.
Lake County's Wine Country has been compared to California's Sonoma Valley featuring national award-winning wineries. In all, about 14 wineries are bunched together in the vineyard region within a few mile radius of the lake.
Wine is always available, but harvest time could be the best time to visit when fresh-picked grapes and abundant fresh-squeezed juice are available for purchase. During harvest, some vineyards allow visitors to pick their own Concord and Catawba grapes.
