Ice cream, Ribs, Moonshine and Walleye: plus many more Memorial Day Weekend Classics.
It’s Memorial Day Weekend, Ohio, and there are many classic Ohio Festivals that we know and love.
If long holiday weekends mean BBQ, then you should definitely head to the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds for Berea’s National Rib Cook-off (Review). But maybe it’s about getting out the boat and fishing – in that case, perhaps you should go to Port Clinton for the Walleye Festival (Review).
And, if you have children or are a kid at heart, maybe this is the perfect weekend for an Ice Cream Festival (Review) in Utica, next to Velvet Ice Cream, or even in Columbus at Jeni’s Strawberry Jam at Land-Grant.
This is weekend of history from the Medieval Fantasy Market Faire in Pleasant City to the Civil War Encampment in Burton.
It’s also a weekend of culture from the Asian Festival (Review) in Columbus to the Feast of the Flowering Moon (Review).in Chillicothe.
Plus, there are Memorial Day Celebrations, the start of Bike Week in Sandusky, and all sorts of Music Festivals with Sonic Temple, the Dark Star Jubilee, Mitch and Cindy’s Bluegrass Jamboree, Lorain County Mongo Spring Music Fest, Buckeye Country Superfest, and Reggae Fest Cleveland.
Dance off those ribs and ice cream, Ohio!
Next weekend, the festival numbers really start jumping.
Until then…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
Upcoming Ohio Festival Weekend: May 25-29, 2023
