This free event brings over 30,000 visitors, rain or shine, from all over the region. There will be a Beer & Wine Garden located at the North end of Professor between Literary & W 10th that will serve craft beers from Portside Distillery, Butcher & Brewer and Forest City Brewery and a variety of wines for $6.00. Rum cocktails from Spotted Owl will be $7.00. Bottled water will be $1.00. Food will be available for purchase from the amazing local vendors that have helped define Tremont as one of the best food neighborhoods in Ohio.


Here’s some of the favorite quotes from Outside In set to Bob Gatewood’s classic Put-in-Bay tune “Friends of the Bay”, which was selected as the official song of Put-in-Bay by the Put-in-Bay Village Council. Congratulations to Bob and special thanks for allowing use of the song in Outside In.
