2026 Vermilion Festival of the Fish
Queen & Court Brunch Invitation
The family is gathering… and the Codfather is calling.
The 2026 Vermilion Festival of the Fish proudly presents this year’s theme:
CODFATHER
Where tradition runs deep, the fish are legendary, and festival royalty gathers like family for a weekend of celebration along the shores of Lake Erie.
On behalf of the Festival and our reigning 2025 Festival of the Fish Queen, Marissa Torres, we cordially invite your Queen and her court to join us for our annual Festival Queen & Court Brunch, a morning where festival royalty gathers before the parade and festivities begin.
