Upcoming Ohio Festival Weekend: June 30 – July 4, 2022

70+ Fests for a special long 4th of July Weekend

The 4th of July is coming soon and it falls on a Monday this year, giving us a three day weekend. To go along with it, there will be many festivals exploding all over the state with all the food, vendors and entertainment you expect – not to mention a possible fireworks show.

That being said, this is NOT a full listing of fireworks shows, especially if is ONLY a fireworks show.

Instead this is a post about festivals, so there should be food and entertainment (and hopefully some vendors) at these events. If your community is having some form of Independence Day Celebration that’s not listed and there are both food and entertainment, please let me know about it and I will add it.

Let’s now follow last week’s format and show you what’s going on this weekend:

Northwest Ohio:
The Festival of Sail returns to Sandusky with some other festivals including Wyanstock in Upper Sandusky and Oak Harbor Independence Day Festival. There are also festivals around Van Wert and down I-75.

Northeast Ohio:
Some of the more popular festivals this weekend include Rib, White and Blue in Akron, Bay Days in Bay Village, Fairport Mardi Gras in Fairport Harbor, and Thunder Over Holmes County in Millersburg. But there are all sorts of celebrations spread out all over and it’s worth checking the map.

Central Ohio:
The three that really stick out are Red, White and Boom! and The Doo Dah Parade, both in Columbus, and Ashville’s 4th of July Celebration. There are also the Pickerington July 4th Celebration, the Granville Kiwanis July 4th Celebration, the West Jefferson July 4th Streetfest and more.

Southwest Ohio:
Quite a few festivals around Cincinnati and Dayton: Red, White in Kaboom in Fairfield, Red, White and Blue Ash, Star Spangled Heights in Huber Heights, Lights in Flight Festival in Dayton and many more!

Southeast Ohio:
The main festivals I’ve found are the Gallipolis River Recreational Festival and the Monroe County PowWow in Hannibal. There are also festivals along I-70, like the Barnesville Independence Day Celebration and Stars and Stripes on the River in Zanesville.

If there are other festivals you know about that you don’t see listed below, feel free to let me know about them and I’ll add them as soon as possible.

For your own weekend planning, please look to the map, keeping in mind that a city may have more than one festival, and be sure to read the Reviews to get a better idea of what to find at each festival.

I wish you a wonderful July 4th weekend and I hope you get to have many wonderful festival experiences!

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
