Join us for an unforgettable day on Friday, October 4th as we celebrate the Grand Opening of the Center for Lake Erie Education and Research (CLEER) and premiere the brand-new First Waves Erie Film!
The day will feature the powerful premiere of First Waves Erie, a film featuring local youth exploring adventure, conservation, and their deep connection to Lake Erie and French Creek. The screening is part of CLEER’s Grand Opening weekend celebration—a family-friendly, water-focused festival with interactive exhibits, art, educational activities, and community partners showcasing how water shapes our communities and our world.
Don’t miss this inspiring day of film, community, and discovery on the bayfront!
Location Specifics: The event will take place at the H.O. Hirt Auditorium in the Blasco Memorial Building (160 E Front St, Erie, PA 16501). Please note: due to Bayfront Parkway construction, parking is accessible from Holland Street—or better yet, hop on The E for free from downtown!
