Bay-Rama Fishfly Festival

Bay-Rama Fishfly Festival The World's ONLY Fishfly Festival
June 24-28, 2026! As an all-volunteer organization, we are committed to helping better our community.

Downtown New Baltimore

Bay-Rama, Inc., is committed to enhancing the quality of life in New Baltimore and the Anchor Bay area.
Bay-Rama has awarded over $78,000 in scholarship money to the Anchor Bay Graduates since its beginning. We also put on the Bay-Rama Fabulous Fishfly Festival Fireworks display and the Annual New Baltimore Christmas Tree lighting Ceremony & Cocoa with Santa! Bay-Rama is also involved with other areas of the community, New Baltimore Recreation Center, MacDonald Library, New Baltimore Lions, New Baltimore Fire & Police Departments, and the New Baltimore Historical Society. We have supported the Anchor Bay High School Marching Band, Senior All Night Party, and the All Sports Club. Have you been to the beach at Walter & Mary Burke Park in the past several years? Have your kids played on the playscape at the park? Ever sit down at the library to read a book or magazine? Ever taken a walk around Festival Park? Have your kids ever played soccer or practiced youth football or lacrosse at Festival Park. Has your Child played t-ball or baseball at Festival Park? Through donations from Bay-Rama over $2,100,000 to date, these things have been made possible. Bay-Rama donated the land on which the current beach and playscape are located at a value of $550,000 at the time. We also made a donation to make the restrooms at the park, picnic tables, and steel seawall possible. There are two full soccer fields at Festival Park along with 4 ball diamonds, and a practice field for youth football or lacrosse currently in use, along with multiple picnic areas, parking, and 1 mile walking path, all donated by Bay-Rama. In 2012 Bay-Rama made the final donation of Festival Park to the City of New Baltimore. Although the park is now owned by the city, we still continue to pursue grants and donations to implement the additional items needed at the park. In the Spring of 2014, the baseball and softball complex was dedicated and named The Larry Gingas & Family Baseball & Softball Complex. We couldn’t be happier or more proud of the hard work and dedication set forth by Larry Gingas in his pursuit of making the dream of Festival Park come true and being recognized in such a perfect way.

πŸ’™ That's a wrap on the 61st Annual Bay-Rama Fishfly Festival! πŸ’™

From all of us at Bay-Rama, thank you!

To our incredible volunteers who dedicate countless hours, our generous sponsors, local businesses, city officials, first responders, community partners, vendors, entertainers, and every single person who came out to celebrate with us, this festival is possible because of you.

For 61 years, our mission has remained the same: provide five days of family fun while giving back to the community we love.

Thanks to your continued support, Bay-Rama has proudly donated more than $2.1 million back to the City of New Baltimore, including:

βœ… 2012 – Donated Festival Park to the City
βœ… 2016 – Donated bleachers at all four ball diamonds in Festival Park
βœ… 2018 – Donated $100,000 toward a new playscape at Festival Park
βœ… 2021 – Donated $100,000 toward the new playscape at Burke Park
βœ… 2024 – Donated $30,000 toward the Downtown speaker system
βœ… 2026 – Donated $150,000 toward the new playscape at the Park on 24 Mile Road

Every ride ticket purchased, every carnival game played, every elephant ear enjoyed, every raffle ticket sold, and every moment spent at Bay-Rama helps make these community investments possible.

We are incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together, and we can't wait to continue building an even stronger New Baltimore for generations to come.

πŸ“… Save the Date! The 62nd Annual Bay-Rama Fishfly Festival returns June 23–27, 2027!

Until next year, thank you for making Bay-Rama more than a festival. Thank you for making it a community tradition. β€οΈπŸŽ‘πŸŽ†
