Boat-In Breakfast in Keithsburg, IL: A Beloved Annual Riverfront Event in August
Looking for a summer tradition that’s as unique as it is delicious? Head to Keithsburg for the Boat-In-Breakfast, happening every third Sunday in August. Whether you arrive by land or by water, you’re in for a morning of great food, river views, and small-town hospitality that makes this part of Mercer County so special.
This one-of-a-kind event is hosted by the Keithsburg Boat Club, a local group with roots going back to the 1960s. What started as a handful of fishing friends has grown into a 60-member club focused on friendship, community, and giving back.
All proceeds from the breakfast help keep the club running, but it doesn’t stop there—a portion is also donated to local causes and charities, including the Keithsburg Memorial.
It’s events like this that show off the heart of MerCo.
Come for the breakfast, stay for the community—and make a memory while you’re at it.
Mark your calendar for the third Sunday in August and be sure to follow the Keithsburg Boat Club on Facebook!
