2013 Festival Schedule
Here is as complete a list as I can get at the moment.
Please check dates as time approaches, especially for any listings where there is an * (asterisk) next to the date. This means that I could not yet find a confirmation of the exact date for this year.
Spaces between group listings mean a different weekend.
“My Review” means that it’s a link to my review of that festival.
If there is a festival you do not see but would like listed, please contact me and let me know about it, especially smaller festivals that don’t have the advertising.
Thanks!

5/17-5/18* – Hessler Street Fair – Cleveland – My Review
5/18* – OregonFest

I LOVE THIS SITE!!!! BEING FROM OHIO AND LIVING IN ALABAMA, I CAN NOW PLAN MY VACATIONS WITH LOTS OF FESTIVALS IN MIND!! THANK-YOU
GREAT site!! Gave me some ideas of places to visit for 2013. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed reading most of your reviews!!
I love this site! I am a travel agent for AAA and this helps find any festival in the state of Ohio. Great job! I look forward to seeing this site every year!
thanks!
I just stumbled on the this site. I am so impressed with this list!
Is there a list that includes not only the name & date of the festival, but the location (ie: whether it is in NEO, NWO, Central, SEO, SWO)? Since many of the ones on the list do not include the city – without clicking on every item it’s hard to know if it’s close enough for us to attend! And, clicking on every item is very time consuming!
Due to the limited amount of space (and HUGE amount of festivals), I can only list so much information on the Festival Schedule Page. My suggestion would be to check out the Calendar to get a general sense of proximity as well as Google Maps (the Directions feature) to type in some of the cities and get an idea of how close they are.
That’s what I do!
Good luck!
Was looking for the Wild Turkey Festival in McArthur, when I came across this site.
Nice to find most of Ohio Festivals in one spot. Kind of looks like my summer weekends
will be taken up by traveling Ohio this year. My Aunts and I are always looking for some
place to go. Many Thanks to who ever put this together. It’s Great.
Judy – Thanks so much!
Hi,do you have any Info on the rib fest In Toledo this summer ? thank you
Robert – Just found it. Look to 8/8-8/11 for the Northwest Ohio Rib-Off
This is awesome! Is there a .ics or .csv file with this information so that I can import it into google calendar?
No, sorry. But you can always check the calendar page to see it as well.
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL SITE. THIS ,BY FAR, IS THE “BEST”THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS. I LIKE YOUR COMMENTS,TOO. PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING,IT IS SO THOROUGH!! THANKS AGAIN!! GOD BLESS!
I just stumbled on this! It’s the best site I’ve come across- great job. There is a festival I know about if you would like to add it. The Asian Food Festival is this weekend along the Banks in Cincinnati. Sat/Sun. I think it’s the 4th year for it? 11-9 Sat not sure of hrs on Sun? 11-4? Thanks for putting this together, it’s put together pretty well!
Thanks so much, Angela! I’m adding it now.
