Don’t Miss Making Memories at Port Farms Summer Days: Aug. 2–Sept. 7

Acres of flowers, 20+ attractions and more during this annual event

By Kara Murphy | Macaroni KID Erie July 17, 2025

We were just looking for a fun, low-key day trip near Erie, and Port Farms Summer Days totally surprised us. Between the colorful flower fields, relaxing wagon rides, and nonstop fun with the kids, it turned into one of those rare days our family still talks about. We left with a mason jar full of fresh blooms (that lasted for weeks) and tons of photos that I love. 

Now Summer Days is back for 2025—and you could win FREE tickets to make your own memories!

  • 🌻 Acres of flower fields (sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos)
  • 🫙 Choose your-own-adventure: Take home a FREE mason jar of flowers with general admission—pick your own bouquet! OR enjoy 2 rides on the Mini Excavator/Dig-Zone Sandbox (extra tokens available to purchase for more digging fun)

We will absolutely go back for another afternoon at Port Farms Summer Days in 2025. It is a low-stress, totally gorgeous way to spend a day... and the kids were entertained for hours.

Why You Can't Miss a Day at Port Farms Summer Event

Port Farms Fall Fest is already a must-do in Erie, and now Summer Days is quickly becoming the can't-miss summer tradition too. Last year we walked away with some of my favorite photos of the summer, fresh-cut flowers that lasted for weeks, and great memories. There's nothing else like it near Erie!

Not bad for one afternoon, right?






See you at Port Farms!
