Tentative (dates to be set) - Rock and Roll Bands
Fort Firelands is working on scheduling an event or two, with local rock bands. If you are a local or traveling band that is near the Port Clinton area get in touch with us. Our stage has been graced in the past with such big name bands as: Steppenwolf and Alice Cooper, we think it is time to revive "the Fort&##39;s" tradition as a great entertainment venue, so stay tuned for more details.
