Sherod park
Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Sherod Park is just a few minutes west of charming downtown Vermilion. This expansive, 24-acre park is one of Vermilion’s premier lakeside parks with unobstructed views of the lake and beach access. Stay late to enjoy the sunset! Don’t forget to bring your friendly, leashed dog with you!
"You couldn't ask for a more beautiful venue in one of Ohio's most charming small towns." - Linda Lackey (Linda's Other Life)
vendors
The Vermilion Beach Market on Lake Erie welcomes over 100 talented and inspiring vendors carefully curated for this ninth annual event. Boutique and food vendors will be located on the entire west side of the park, in a grassy area just steps from the beach and a beautiful view of Lake Erie. In the spring, we will announce the complete list of vendors! In early summer, we will be begin a countdown to the market by showcasing each of our vendors on our socials.
vintage vw buses
On Saturday morning, vintage VW buses roll in to the Vermilion Beach Market on Lake Erie to vend vintage merchandise and add to the vintage summer vibe. LeakOil, a laid-back group of vintage VW bus owners, uses Lake Erie as their geographic common denominator for informal gatherings.
