WEDNESDAY, JULY 21 - 25

Presque Isle State Park is known for its beautiful scenery and wildlife. From the beaches of Lake Erie to the Presque Isle Lighthouse, the park offers numerous sights to see and educational opportunities. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Park, Presque Isle Partnership presents Discover Presque Isle, an event designed to showcase the splendor of the park. 

This annual rite of summer encourages locals and visitors to engage in the park's numerous recreational opportunities and to educate themselves on the beauty of the ecosystems within the park. Unlike previous iterations, this year's Discover Presque Isle festivities will not host vendors, but there will be plenty to keep attendees busy just the same. Presque Isle Partnership encourages visitors to participate in a wide array of activities, such as archery, live music, pancake breakfasts, sand sculpture competitions, yoga, movie nights, and more.

Nearly all Discover Presque Isle programs are free with the encouragement of donations to support the Presque Isle Partnership which works to support and protect the park. Attendees can additionally support the Presque Isle Partnership by purchasing a 100th Anniversary wood chip as part of the Partnership's "Chip in for Presque Isle" program. 

Those interested in attending Discover Presque Isle 2021 can access a full list of Discover Presque Isle Events for 2021 along with their times and locations throughout the park at discoverpi.com.
