This weekend’s festivals celebrate Sauerkraut, Italians, the Moonville Tunnel, the Algonquin Mill, and the Yellow Springs Street Fair.
It’s a great festival weekend with some classic Ohio festivals I’ve had the pleasure to visit and many I still long to see in person.
Among those I love this weekend, there’s the Columbus Italian Festival (Review) with all that delicious food, the Algonquin Mill Festival (Review) with all the demonstrations and property to explore, the Sauerkraut Festival (Review) with all those fun and quirky sauerkraut foods and the Yellow Springs Street Fair (Review) which is the perfect excuse to explore the town if you never have before. All of these festivals are great in their own ways and some also have some challenges – so read the reviews and be prepared.
Now, in terms of festivals I haven’t been to but would love to attend – there are many. Some of them include the Beaver Oktoberfest, the Chillicothe Halloween Festival, Midnight at Moonville in McArthur, and the Applebutter Fest in Grand Rapids.
Have you been to any of these fests? Which do you recommend?
Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on in each part of the state:
Northwest Ohio:
In and along Lake Erie, the Lighthouse Festival (Review) is going on at Lakeside-Marblehead with an Apple Festival in Oak Harbor (Review) and an Oktoberfest in Put-in-Bay. There are also Farm Fests in Berlin Heights and Troy.
Northeast Ohio:
The St. Stanislaus Polish Festival (Review) is back with duck blood soup in Cleveland, along with an Apple Butter Festival in Burton, a Fall Festival in Sugarcreek, the Algonquin Mill Fall Festival in Carrollton and Christmas in the Woods in Columbiana.
Central Ohio:
The big one is the Columbus Italian Festival, but there are also the Mac and Cheese Festival, the Donut and Beer Festival and Old Worthington Market Day (Review).
Southwest Ohio:
Sauerkraut Festival is this weekend and it’s a big one so get there early. There are also the Lebanon Oktoberfest, Operation Pumpkin in Hamilton, the Pioneer Harvest Fest (Review) in Trotwood, the Enon Apple Butter Festival (Review) and the Yellow Springs Street Fair.
Southeast Ohio:
Some cool festivals to check out include the Beaver Oktoberfest, Midnight in Moonville in McArthur, and the Harvest Festival and Bean Dinner in Ironton.
