Focus on Autumn at Put-in-Bay

Autumn at Put-in-Bay is an uplifting and rewarding season.  While the hi-jinks of summer fade into memories, fall adventures kindle refreshingly new experiences.  Combine cooler temperatures, lower relative humidity, and the inspiring painter’s palette of colors and you will feel the rewards of a new season.  Special events begin on 11 September and continue through 10 October this year.  Focus on the offerings below and plan your fall Put-in-Bay escapade!
