County Fairs starting up plus 50+ Ohio Festivals
As we approach another weekend filled with festivals, County Fairs are joining in. There will be 7 county fairs starting up this week, alongside nearly 50 Ohio Festivals and other fairs and shows.
By looking at the map, you’ll see that events are fairly distributed throughout Ohio with some nice festival clusters around Cleveland, Akron and Dayton.
I would also like to point out that the map shows festivals in neighboring states that are pretty much near the Ohio border. So, if you live near the border, check the map and see if there are out-of-state festivals near you. If so, check out the weekly post at Festival Guides and Reviews to learn what those festivals are. That post can be found at festivalguidesandreviews.com/festival-weekend-071022
Notable festivals this weekend include Tall Ships in Cleveland, Lilyfest in Rockbridge, the Cincinnati Celtic Festival and the Westerville Music and Arts Festival.
And there are many others, so let’s take a closer look at each area of Ohio:
Northwest Ohio:
The Delta Chicken Festival is this weekend (one I’ve been trying to get to for some time). There’s also the Huron River Fest and the Tree Town Festival in Forest.
Northeast Ohio:
Many festivals including the Cleveland Tall Ships Festival, the Summer Festival of the Arts (Youngstown), the Italian American Festival (Canton) and the first weekend for both the Great Lakes Medieval Faire and Marketplace (Rock Creek) and the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Zoo. Many community and church festivals as well.
Central Ohio:
This weekend, Westerville has its Music and Arts Festival while Columbus has Summer Jam West and the Soul of Columbus Food and Art Festival.
Southwest Ohio:
The Cincinnati Celtic Festival returns with the Kickin’ Chicken Wing Fest in Kettering.
Southeast Ohio:
If you haven’t been to Lilyfest in Rockbridge, you are definitely missing out. Of course, if exhilaration and loud engines is more your speed, then check out the Marietta Riverfront Roar.
