New Restaurant Opening in South Lakeside
As one of the first deliverables of the Master Plan, Lakeside is excited to partner with Gabe Zeller and Julie Mesenburg, creators of Barra, a Sandusky-based, modern Mexican restaurant, to offer a diverse new dining option in Lakeside.

Gabe and Julie will open "Lago Coastal Café" in the existing grounds building on Sixth Street, across from the Williams Tennis Campus. Approved at the November board meeting, renovation will begin this month thanks to a donation from a generous Lakeside family.

Up until this point, Michael Shirtz has been best known to Lakesiders as a jazz musician - a talented piano player and a charming voice and stage presence. But as Lakeside's new Senior V.P. of Programming, Shirtz now has the chance to show off his experience and passion for education, outreach, business and wellness.

In his new position, Shirtz will lead Lakeside in enhancing all areas of programming - religion, education, arts and recreation. Read more...
Meet the Rev. Dr. Charlie Yoost: Director of Religious Life & Church Outreach
Although stepping out of retirement to assume a full-time ministry position wasn't something the Rev. Dr. Charlie Yoost had planned for, he sees very clearly that this position has chosen him and he has enthusiastically accepted the call. Beginning in September, Yoost is the new Director of Religious Life & Church Outreach.

"It seemed like a natural connection," said Yoost. "I'm retired and have been looking for a way to give back and help the church, but in a different way than being a local pastor, which I did for 46 years. I'm looking forward to this change of pace - this will be a different twist on ministry for me." Read more...

2019 Admission & Parking Fees  
Each November, the Board's Finance Committee begins the budget review process for the upcoming year and determines the sources of revenue that will be needed to support our grounds, facilities and our signature Chautauqua program. With so much to look forward to this year, including expanded programs, a new restaurant, and new and refreshed programming facilities, there is now more value in a Daily Chautauqua Pass than ever before.

The work of the Finance Committee was presented to the Lakeside Chautauqua Board of Directors at the November meeting, and the board approved the following for 2019:

  • Daily Chautauqua Passes are $24.50 for adults and $16.25 for youth ages 13-24. As always, kids age 12 & under are always free.
  • The Saturday premium will also apply to Fridays as high-caliber acts are now beginning to perform on both Fridays and Saturdays. For 2019, a Friday and Saturday Chautauqua Pass purchased on that day will cost $30 for adults. There is no premium pricing for youth passes. Please remember that guests can bypass this increase by purchasing daily passes in advance or buying a multi-day pass. Read more...
