Over 30 Festivals celebrating Spring, Cultures, Horses, Ribs and Art.
We are one week shy of Memorial Day Weekend, but the festivals are in full force.
There are over 30 festivals going on, particularly around the cities of Cleveland/Akron, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo and Dayton.
Spring Festivals continue this weekend in the cities of Highland Heights, Miamisburg, Bryan, and Berea as Street Markets pop up in Seville and Sidney.
If you like ethnic food, there are plenty of good options, like the Cleveland Asian Festival (Review), the Primavara! Romanian Festival (Review) in Fairlawn, the Columbus Taco Fest and the Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Festival in Mansfield. You may even find some ethnic food at a Church Festival this weekend – they are going on in Highland Heights, Massillon, and Sylvania.
Other festivals worth checking out include the Downtown Willoughby Rib Burn Off (Review), Horsefest in Kirtland, the Kent Craft Beer Fest, the Dayton Sideshow and the Hamler Country Fest.
And, if you have children who love to read, check out Claire’s Day (Review) in Maumee.
Look to the lists below for all of this weekend’s festivals and be sure to look at the map to see if something is going on around you.
Festival numbers only increase in the weeks to come, so you may want to plan ahead. The Ohio Festival Guide at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-festivals/ can really help you plan for some summer festival adventures.
Have a great weekend and…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
