The Beach Glass Festival is the premiere event celebrating arts, jewelry, and crafts created with Great Lakes beach glass, shells, driftwood, stones, and more. This event will be produced and promoted by Glassing Magazine, the first-ever print magazine all about beach glass and sea glass and all types of beachcombing, published by Beach Bum Glass of Hamburg, NY.

The festival will include vendors of beach glass and related coastal arts, plus a lecture series on topics about beach and sea glass, shipwrecks of Lake Erie, and bottle collecting/identifying. Additionally, one of the main attractions will be the “Best Beach Glass” Contest, where festival-goers are encouraged to enter their favorite or most-prized finds for judging by leaders in the sea glass community (with cash prizes awarded).
