The Buzzards Return, a guide for Pi/Pie Day, Shows galore and St. Patrick’s Day Weekend.
Welcome back, festival fans.
If you’re reading this early enough, I want to remind you that March 14 is Pi(e) Day, so why not pick up a pie from your local bakery or pie place for the family?
Of course, if you’re family is a real pain to buy pie for (he likes apple, she likes French Silk, kids like cake)…
…then check out the Ohio Cake and Pie Guide where I list places that sell cake and pie BY THE SLICE (some places do offer full pies as well).
It’s St. Patrick’s Day Weekend and I’m sorry to not offer you any festivals in that regard. There will be city/community celebrations, plenty of bar specials, and ways to get freshly made corned beef, but there’s nothing going on festival-wise.
Instead, festivals this weekend deal primarily with Maple Syrup…
…and the return of the buzzards, especially to Hinckley, where Buzzard Sunday (Review) is celebrated.
There are also shows for people into Stamps, Crafts, Railroads, Plants, Reptiles, Ham Radios, Psychics, Beef, Comics, Cards and Nostalgia.

FESTIVAL UPDATE: I’ve been updating the Ohio Festival Guide and Ohio Fair and Show Guide for 2025.
If you didn’t already know, any date with an asterisk (*) means that I haven’t confirmed that event. Once the date is confirmed by me, I remove the asterisk and update the listing as necessary. Certain events will also get copied over to the Cleveland Festival Guide, the Columbus Festival Guide or the Cincinnati Festival Guide.
I have just gone as far as October and I will start going through April and May again soon to clean those up.
As an FYI, just because the event has an asterisk doesn’t mean that the official festival website linked to the event isn’t already updated. So feel free to check it, just to be sure.

Have a great weekend!
