Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial

Giant Celebration Planned for 'Battle of Lake Erie' Bicentennial in 2013

The celebration will mark the 200 year anniversary of the battle, sometimes called the "Battle of Put-In-Bay," the coastal and island area of Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio, and about ninety miles west of Cleveland. In September 2013 Tall Ships representing the U.S. and Great Britain will gather in the Western Basin to commemorate the occasion. Visitors will be able to tour the ships as well as participate as crew members. You can sign up to be part
of the "fleet" or as a militia member. Along with the Tall Ships surrounding days are scheduling to include:

• One of the biggest fireworks displays in North America
• Navy Flyover and National Blimps
• National music acts and a gala parade featuring the largest and best marching bands in the area
• Solemn ceremonies and honor guard to memorialize the fallen
• Special dinners, lunches and events highlighting different aspects of the Battle of Lake Erie history
• Food and beverage concessions, featuring fare both exotic and comforting.
• Period Art & Craft exhibits and vendors

A national spokesperson will commission a new Bicentennial Navy and crew members will board one of the Tall Ships setting sail to the actual Battle site for the Battle of Lake Erie 2013. A parade of sail will take place along the shoreline and in many of the host cities prior to this event. This event will include Representative from the U.S., British, and Canadian Governments, and Native American Indian groups.
