If your ideal summer day includes sunshine, great people, and a whole lot of time on the water—clear your calendar for Saturday, June 27.
Gordy’s is bringing the energy to Lake Michigan with our annual Raft-Up just outside the Wilmette Harbor entrance—and it’s shaping up to be one of the most fun, laid-back boating events of the season.
What’s a Raft-Up?
If you’ve never experienced one, picture this: dozens of boats anchored, music playing, people laughing, and new friendships forming—all floating together on open water. It’s one of those can’t-miss summer traditions that perfectly captures what boating is all about.
The Gordy’s Touch
Of course, we’re not showing up empty-handed.
The Gordy’s crew will be on-site keeping the good times rolling with:
- Fresh-off-the-grill brats
- Our famous Gordy’s chocolate chip cookies
- Ice-cold margaritas
- Plenty of other refreshments to keep you fueled all day long
Whether you’re anchoring for the whole afternoon or just cruising through, make sure to stop by, grab a bite, and say hello.
Meet Your People
This event isn’t just about boats—it’s about the people who love them.
The Raft-Up brings together avid boaters from all over, creating the perfect opportunity to meet new friends, swap stories, and connect with others who share your passion for life on the water. Don’t be surprised if you leave with a few new numbers in your phone and plans for your next lake day.
Come As You Are
No registration. No pressure. Just pull up, anchor, and jump into the fun.
Bring your crew, bring your energy, and get ready for a day that feels like summer at its absolute best.
See You on the Water
Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 27, and make your way out to Lake Michigan near the Wilmette Harbor entrance. Look for the Gordy’s Flags & Crew—you won’t miss us.
Because the only thing better than a day on the water… is sharing it.
