Description

WELCOME TO THE WILDEST WAVE OF THE SUMMER! This year, the Vermilion Festival of the Fish is going full throttle with our totally tubular theme:

 “Fishing in the 80s – Big Hair & Mullet Mania!” 

So tease that hair sky-high, break out the neon spandex, and prepare for a righteous weekend of fish, flair, and fabulous royal fun!

On behalf of the Festival and our rockin’ 2024 Queen, Brogin Curtis, we are totally stoked to invite your Queen and her court to our annual Festival Breakfast Bash — a morning of music, memories, and maple syrup!

WHERE: German’s Villa – 3330 Liberty Avenue, just a half-mile east of Vermilion on Lake Rd. (Rt. 6)
WHEN: Sunday, June 15th, 9:00 AM sharp — don’t be late or you’ll miss the bacon (and the beat)!

THE LINEUP:
We’re talking a full-on breakfast spread worthy of backstage legends: juicy fruits, ice-cold OJ, sizzling sausage and bacon, fluffy eggs, sweet French toast, pastries that melt in your mouth, and beverages to keep your engine running all day long.

Admission Details:

• OFEA Queens – You’re our VIPs and eat FREE (with your chaperone, of course).
• Non-OFEA Queens, Chaperones, Court Members, and Guests – $18.00 per rockin’ seat at the table.
  Reservation and parade entry forms are included and must be returned by June 5, 2025 to reserve your spot on this breakfast tour!

POST-BRUNCH PARADE PREP:
Once you’ve fueled up, the Vermilion Police will escort all Queens and their floats or parade rides as a united glam squad from German’s Villa to the parade lineup at 11:30 AM.  (You will have time to decorate your floats/vehicles at line-up).

THE MAIN EVENT:
The parade kicks off at 12:30 PM, and it’s your moment to shine! Bring your floats, convertibles, and T-tops — but no rooftop riding or candy tossing, please. Safety’s always in style.

CENTER STAGE GLORY:
After the parade, visiting Queens are invited to step into the spotlight at the Main Stage, introduce themselves like the rock royalty they are, and enjoy all the festival’s booths, beats, and bubbly 80s energy.

AND DON’T MISS THE PAGEANT!
Join us for the Festival of the Fish Pageant on Friday, June 13th, 2025 from 12pm to 3 PM on the Main Street Stage. The girls are planning a show so fierce it might just bring back cassette tapes. Reserved seating is available — call to save your seat before they vanish faster than a mixtape in a Walkman.

 Got questions? Want to chat about perms and parade floats? Give us a ring at (440) 967-4477 or email us at info@vermilionohio.com.

 So grab your crowns, fluff those bangs, and ride the wave of Big Hair & Mullet Mania with us —
because at the Festival of the Fish, the only thing bigger than the hair is the FUN!

With electric vibes and festival pride,
