It’s the weekend of the Woollybear and 70 more Fall Festivals to choose from.
This is a complete Fall Festival Weekend, festival fans. Pretty much everything you can think of about fall (pumpkins, apples, cider, Oktoberfests, Harvest Moons, Chocolate, Wizards) is celebrated this weekend.
And, to end the weekend right, Woollybear is returning to Vermilion on Sunday to predict the severity, or mildness, of the upcoming winter season (Spoiler alert: I’ve seen a lot of Woollybears already and their central bands are big – it’ll be a mild winter).
Festivals aren’t as evenly spread throughout Ohio as in the past few weekends. Most festivals can be found in the NE and SE Ohio corners with some festivals sprinkled in-between here and there.
But, if you live near an Ohio border, be sure to look at the map and see if something’s going on nearby in a neighboring state. You can either find that state’s Festival Guide below or check out this week’s post at my sister site, Festival Guides and Reviews (click HERE for that post).
This week, I’m going to keep this post relatively short so that I can give it to you in time. The map, as you can see below, is complete and there are some Festival Reviews to check out.
Now, let’s take a closer look at what’s going on in each part of the state:
Northwest Ohio:
This weekend, there are festivals on both Catawba Island and Put-in-Bay There’s also the Minster Oktoberfest, the Johnny Appleseed Festival at Auglaize Village and more.
Northeast Ohio:
All sorts of Fall, Pumpkin, Apple, Apple Butter and Apple Cider Fests going on. Plus the Ohio Swiss Festival and the famous Woollybear Festival.
Central Ohio:
The Harvest Moon Festival in is Granville and Grove City has an Old-Time Harvest Day.
Southwest Ohio:
Wizard Fest is in Goshen, the Chocolate Festival returns to Dayton and the Apple Butter Festival is in Oxford.
Southeast Ohio:
Glouster has the Appalachian Color in the Hills Festival while Lowell has an Octoberfest.

October doesn’t mean the end of festivals. They are going to stay relatively strong into late October, so keep checking back!
And use the map!
