Our annual October trip is our favorite trip of the year! It really is an awesome time to visit the lake.

🍂 October is Coming to Kelleys Island! 🍂

Can you believe October is almost here?! While summer on Kelleys Island gets plenty of attention, we might be a little biased when we say fall is one of our absolute favorite times on the island. 🍁

The crowds begin to slow down, the crisp Lake Erie air rolls in, and the island starts showing off some of the most beautiful scenery of the entire year. Colorful tree-lined roads, peaceful trails, fall views along the water, and those perfect cool island evenings make October a pretty special time to visit. 🌊🍂

And don’t pack away your island plans just yet — October is FULL of things to do!

🍁 October is your reminder that island season isn’t over when summer ends! Come over for the day or make a weekend out of it. Take a drive beneath the changing leaves, explore the trails, enjoy the lake views, grab a bite or drink at your favorite island businesses, and experience a quieter, cozier side of Kelleys Island.

Individual event details and schedules may change, and more October happenings may still be added! Be sure to follow our island businesses and organizations for their latest events, specials, live music, and fall hours.

October is coming... and fall looks pretty good on Kelleys Island. 🍂🌊🎃

Same island magic. A whole new season.

❄️ The Ice Is Moving ❄️
First Annual Catawba Island Ice Shove
This winter, we invite you to slow down, gather close, and admire the ice.
Join us for a brand-new Catawba Island tradition celebrating one of Lake Erie’s most powerful and breathtaking natural phenomena where frozen water becomes art, light, and inspiration.
📅 February 6-8th
📍 Gideon Owen W**e Company – Gideon Square
✨ What to Expect:
• Hand-carved ice sculptures
• Glowing ice luminaries lighting Gideon Square
• Authentic frozen Lake Erie ice, gathered and displayed
• Firepits roaring to keep you warm as you stroll and sip
• A one-of-a-kind ice bar, serving winter-inspired cocktails to celebrate the season
When the winds align and the currents shift, Lake Erie’s ice presses toward shore, forming towering blue ridges and frozen monuments. Whether the ice is actively moving or standing still, the beauty is undeniable and worth lingering over.
🌊 Nature provides the spectacle, we provide the gathering.
Warm up by the fire, raise a glass at the ice bar, and take in a winter weekend shaped by wind, water, and community.
✨ More details coming soon.


Bundle up and join us for the very first Catawba Island Ice Shove.
