Cedar Point's Flavors of Halloweekends 2024

 Welcome Ghouls and Goblins,     It's the most wonderful time of the year. Ew no, not the holidays. Halloween. Spooky Season. Football. Orange. While I dread the shorter days and losing the warm sun until May (Ohio probs), I love all things spooky and pumpkin spice in mass amounts. It also signals yet another year for my favorite event at Cedar Point-Halloweekends. We are back to enjoy the Flavors of Halloweekends. This year features 6 savory and 5 sweet items. We also tried a few specialty drinks around the park and at the Grand Pavilion that aren't part of Flavors of Halloweekends, but they're still themed to the event. Note: These are usually not part of the dining plan. I know some of you (like me) wish you could navigate the system to make it cheaper, but specialty event food items are sold individually and not part of a meal. The theme of this year seems to lean toward graveyards and tombs, so we're using tombstones 🪦 (or it may show up as black boxes if you'

The Summer Market

 Hello Market-Goers and Lake Lovers!      This summer, I had the pleasure of attending The Summer Market for the very first time. It's an outdoor festival and fundraising event featuring more than 100 vendors that sell vintage, handmade, and homegrown goods. The fundraiser supports Girls Give Back, which is a non-profit that benefits local families and organizations in need. There is also live music, food trucks, and drinks that you can enjoy along the Black River in Lorain, Ohio. It is free to attend and pet friendly. I have heard of this event in the past, but never made it because it is one weekend only every July. You can check out more about the event on their website .      Before going, I checked out their website to see what vendors I definitely wanted to make sure I found their booths. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of lake/nautical goods because I want to decorate my future lake house in that theme. There was a nice variety of booths and products at the event th

Cedar Point's Boardwalk Nights

 Step Right Up!     Cedar Point's Boardwalk Nights is a carnival-esque evening event featuring games, live entertainment, and themed food and drinks. There's also themed merchandise in the gift shops.  It occurs every night (except Tuesdays) July 19th-August 18th from 7pm-10pm. I  love that they're fully embracing the Boardwalk theme, as it's now one of my favorite areas to be in the park. When we attended Winter Chill Out earlier this year, it was on a sneak peek events poster in the costume building. While they didn't delve into the details, I'm glad they didn't spoil the surprises because this event is a lot more fun that I had anticipated.  $39.99     Boardwalk Nights starts off with a cavalcade at 7pm along the Boardwalk (between Windseeker and Gatekeeper). There were 3 floats, dancers, and kites. However, all 3 floats don't make it down the entire boardwalk. They start over near Gatekeeper/MaXair and stop in designated spots. One float stops near W
