It was my mother's favorite place to grab breakfast, partly because she always had coupons. Ha! (They have great burgers too!) Check them out or another fave of ours, PHOP, AKA Portage House of Pancakes
You can check out the National Dunes Lakeshore in Chesterton or check out this cute riverwalk in Portage which is also part of the National State Park.
Fun store to walk around, see some fishies and get on some pontoons and dream of buying a boat!
You can end the day by "hitting it hard at the Dari Dip" as my dad used to say. One of our favorite places to get ice cream. *Bonus* if you go to the Dunes in Chesterton you can kill two birds with one stone as Dari Dip has a second location there now.

The weekend of our wedding is strawberry time there, they will have U-Pick strawberries and other fun activities too. Figured it was something fun to do before heading home on Sunday :)
The market is on Friday nights and the night of June 6th will be their opening day. It typically runs from 3- 9 and there is usually a kids movie playing at night after the market ends.
Downtown Chesterton's European Farmers Market run Saturdays from 8-2, something fun to check out the morning before the wedding.
