About Us

Join us for our 31st year anniversary of the Main Street Port Clinton Walleye Festival!

Our four day festival is held at picturesque Waterworks Park located at Perry Street on the beautiful shore of Lake Erie.  Memorial Day weekend at the Walleye Festival is the perfect way to kick off the summer. There will be an array of free entertainment, a Kid's fishing derby, a Grand Parade, carnival rides, and more than 150 vendors making this event one of Ohio's premier outdoor weekend events.

Port Clinton is known as "The Walleye Capital of the World" and brings in anglers seeking yellow perch and, of course, walleye.

Don't miss your "catch"! Join us this year for a great celebration!
