RALLY ON THE ROCK EVENTS

   Put-in-Bay is sponsoring the first Rally on the Rock June 9-13 with activities and events down on the island's beautiful downtown harbor. We have some fun events, a free two-day Music Fest with some great entertainment, a Vendors Rally Alley and Bike Parade.
   Put in Bay also offers a week's worth of fun activities, dozens of bars and restaurants, a mix of live entertainment, loads of attractions and a laid back island lifestyle experience.
   Come find out why they call us "party island!"
   Bring your bike to Put-in-Bay and join the Bike Parade. The Miller Ferry is offering discounts to all bikers during the five-day Rally on the Rock!
    Put in Bay's Rally on the Rock overlaps Sandusky's Ohio Bike Week. Put-in-Bay has been a satellite location for those attending Ohio Bike Week and biker visitation has increased over the past five years.
   Rally on the Rock is a natural extension of Put-in-Bay providing more activities for bikers and all visitors.
