We said, "GO BIG OR GO HOME!" ๐ ๐งจ
The Vermilion Chamber of Commerce Festival of the Fish celebrated a milestone 60 years last night in true fashion.
Special thanks to Sandy & Doug at the Chamber for their continued trust in our team to ensure every show, every year goes up safely and successfully.
Another HUGE thank you to Don Parsons Inc. - Marina for volunteering their time and staff to assist in the waterway operations!
Cheers to 60 tremendous years! ๐ ๐ฃ
For 60 years, the Festival of the Fish has been a summertime tradition in Vermilion. For the past 13 years, the Vermilion Chamber has added another spectacular tradition, fireworks over Lake Erie.
This breathtaking image, captured by local photographer Scott Dommin, showcases Friday nightโs display as Grand Finale Fireworks lit up the sky from the detached breakwall. With the Vermilion Lighthouse standing proudly below and thousands lining the shoreline, it was a scene that reminds us why this festival means so much to our community.
As the Vermilion Chamber continues celebrating the 60th Annual Festival of the Fish throughout the weekend, we invite everyone to join us downtown for another day filled with great food, live entertainment, family fun, and memories in the making.
Thank you to Scott Dommin for once again capturing the magic, and to Grand Finale Fireworks for an unforgettable night on the Vermilion waterfront.
A heartfelt thank you to our 2026 Fireworks Sponsors: Larry & Karen Bettcher, Ted & Betsy Wakefield, State Representative Kellie Deeter, Grand Finale Fireworks, Peter & Dana Corogin, Main Street Vermilion, David & Michealine Hille, Shore Thing Vermilion. Your support helps light up the Vermilion sky and create memories for thousands each year.
