Cedar Point’s Frontier Town is alive with music, interactive games for kids and adults, artisans, crafters, roaming family entertainment, festive décor and savory corn-inspired treats at Frontier Festival.
SANDUSKY - When eager thrill-seekers pour into Cedar Point this opening weekend, they are likely to notice a theme throughout the park as it celebrates the start of its 151st season.
As gates first opened Friday, Cedar Point is kicking off the season highlighting its annual Frontier Festival and partnership with Prayers From Maria, a nonprofit organization raising money for childhood cancer research.
Based out of Rocky River, Prayers From Maria achieves its mission to spread hope and awareness through the annual sunflower blooms at Maria’s Field of Hope in Avon, and more recently at a second location, Maria’s Field of Hope at Cedar Point, next to Express Hotel in Sandusky.

Cedar Point Puts the Cherry on Top of 2021 Season Debut
May 14, 2021, 10:04 PM ·
Cedar Point s annual Frontier Festival takes over Frontier Town through June 13, and if it is as good as it has been in past years - and as good as the special teaser event that was offered to media yesterday, it s going to be the best yet. Every year a different food is featured, and this year it s cherries.
I don t think I ever realized how many different ways that cherries can be used in cooking. I counted twenty-four specialty items featuring cherries in some way that will be available at eleven different locations throughout Frontier Town. While we weren t offered everything on the menu at the media event, enough of a variety was available to tell me that this is, once again, an event that I ll be coming back to Cedar Point for.

One of Cedar Point’s partners is Prayers From Maria, a foundation dedicated to raising money for research and treatment for childhood brain tumors known as gliomas. Megan McNamara, co-founder of the organization, started the foundation in memory of her daughter, Maria, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in kindergarten and died a year later.
