In just over two weeks, the 40th Anniversary and final edition of the Lake Erie Fanfare will take place! It will be held on Monday August 7, 2023 at Sox Harrison Field of Pennwest Edinboro starting at 7 PM. Tickets are $30 and are ONLY available through DCI.org. If you plan on buying at the stadium day of show, please know that they will only accept credit cards and NO CASH.

For any patrons who were upset over the cancellation of our 2022 event due to the severe weather that stormed into the area, we reiterate that the situation was beyond anyone's control. Each of the groups was paid that night and we ended up losing money as well. If you kept your ticket stubs in hopes of getting something, we can offer you a free program book at this year's event. Beyond that, we have nothing left to give!

Right after tonight's retreat, this event will be gifted over to the Cadets as their new home show here in Erie and we hope they can make a success of it as we did for the last 40 years! We thank all our loyal understanding patrons and hope you will join us for this last hurrah as we hand over the show! Hope to see you there!
