An event created by a local resident in Port Clinton, Wylie, the Walleye, was born in 1997 and made of simply paper mache.
Now, 20 plus years later, there are still thousands that brave the cold and gathered for hours awaiting Wylie, the Walleye, to drop as a new year begins. Port Clinton is the “Walleye Capital of the World,” so what else would we do on New Year’s Eve but drop our brand new LED-lit, 20-foot, 600-pound walleye, named Wylie Jr., from the sky at the stroke of Midnight with a spectacular FIREWORKS show to follow! Wylie Sr. is on display, for PHOTO ops, at the Lake Erie Shores & Island office on Route 53 in Catawba.

In 2019, we introduced the 1st Annual “Bar Swim,” a bar loop around the peninsula on HEATED Luxury Buses beginning at 7 p.m.  A Don’t Drink and Drive Campaign.
• Buses have heat, bathrooms, wi-fi and power outlets.
• All buses will end their night Downtown Port Clinton at 11:30 p.m. Arriving at each destination approximately every 30 minutes.
• “Taxi Alley” will be located on Jefferson Street. All Taxis, Buses, Uber and group transportation may use the area as a turnaround.
