Today, I want to talk about the Boardwalk Nights event at Cedar Point theme park in Sandusky, Ohio. Now, Cedar Point is always a fun place to visit. With seventeen roller coasters and countless other fun attractions, how could you not have fun at Cedar Point? Just look at the park!
But you’re about to have a whole lot more fun at Cedar Point, and this time it takes place at night. Because starting July 18th, you can enjoy Boardwalk Nights!
Boardwalk Nights is a seasonal event at Cedar Point that runs (as the name would imply) at night. It runs from July 18th, 2025, through August 17th, 2025, on all nights except for Tuesday.
The event takes place, as once again the name would suggest, at the Boardwalk section of Cedar Point. The Boardwalk section is a recent addition to the park that was added as a throwback to Cedar Point of yesteryear. There are nods to Cedar Point’s history throughout the section, like the Grand Pavilion which commemorates Cedar Point’s original Grand Pavilion entertainment space that first debuted in 1888.
The Boardwalk section is just steps away from Lake Erie. It is a great throwback to the traditional American beach boardwalks that have entertained travelers for so many years.
This event has a lot of fun entertainment you might expect at a beach boardwalk at night. I want to tell you about some of the fun things you’ll find at this event. Then I’ll tell you how to save money on tickets!
Street Performers & Entertainment
One thing that comes to mind when I think of boardwalks at night is the street performers. And you will see this at Boardwalk Nights.
There will be daredevils there performing crazy tricks. This includes fire manipulating, hand-to-hand human balancing, synchronized kite flying, and more. There’s even a forty-foot-tall Wheel of Destiny!
You can also meet fun characters like Cotton Candy, Ms. Popcorn, and the diva Dreamgirls of Cedar Point. This makes for great photo opportunities!
The Boardwalk Brass Brigade will also be playing fun music. And speaking of music, there will be a Steamboat Swing Dance Party. You’ll hear modern twists on classic songs like “Strike Up The Band”.
