Discover Great Lakes Rockabilly Road Trip

 

After an unforgettable first year, the Great Lakes Rockabilly Road Trip is back and ready to rock Downtown Port Clinton, Ohio, once again!

What started as a celebration of rockabilly music, vintage culture, and Lake Erie has quickly become a one-of-a-kind summer experience. Get ready for another full day of live music on multiple stages, vintage cars, unique vendors, our pin-up pageant, and plenty of retro fun—all in the heart of Lake Erie Vacationland.

Whether you joined us for our first year or you're making the road trip for the first time, come experience the music, the cars, the style, and the energy that made the Great Lakes Rockabilly Road Trip a day to remember.

We did it once. Now we're ready to rock it even bigger in Year Two.
