Thu 6/29-Sun 7/2
Fairport Harbor’s popular July 4 weekend Mardi Gras Beach Party is back, with a full array of food, drink, games, performances, rides and more. Yes, rides ARE back, they’ve said—apparently a lot of people complained that post-pandemic versions of this event featured carnival-style games but no rides.
The event kicks off at 11am each day so you can start gorging on funnel cakes early. The opening parade takes place at 7pm on Thursday June 29. Friday June 30 is seniors day with senior bingo (there’s all-ages bingo on Sunday if that’s something you’re dying to do). Saturday is kids’ day with a touch-a-track event, a watermelon eating contest (because what kid doesn’t like to get messy?), cotton candy and, as required by law apparently, a face painting booth. (There’s actually face and body painting available each day!)
The fireworks go off at dusk on Sunday. The event takes place at Huntington Beach Drive in downtown Fairport Harbor.
