There’s nothing like a brilliant sunset on Lake Erie, each moment vibrant and new.

But even better at Sunset Beach Fest, activities into the evening prepare the adventurous for a calm, peaceful evening and campfire.

The event from 3 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 17 at Lakeview Park at 1800 W. Erie Ave. in Lorain includes canoe, kayak and stand up paddleboard ‘try-its’ from 3-6 p.m. Lakeview Park is a Lorain County Metro Park.

Family activities and DJ music will be available in a kids area. Then educational displays and food will be a draw to the Sunset Terrace.

Beach yoga is from 6-7 p.m.

While you’re there, stroll a formal rose garden with hundreds of fragrant blooms.

To top everything: a beach campfire, live music from Nomad Soul and a summer sunset with your ‘favorite’ helps create memories.
