Nearly 90 Festivals and Events this Weekend
It’s another big festival weekend in Ohio with 70 Festivals and 20 County Fairs, Shows and Events throughout the state. If you look to the map, not only are there nice festival clusters between Cleveland, Akron/Canton and Youngstown, there are also festivals around Cincinnati and Dayton, all around Columbus and even around the Sandusky and the Lake Erie Islands.
Two of this week’s festivals, the North Market Night Market and the Waynesville Street Faire, are recurring monthly festivals that I visited last month. Therefore, a fresh festival review can be found below, along with nearly 20 festivals that I’ve reviewed over the years.
Definitely check out the reviews and see what festivals you like best.
Now let’s take a look at each section of Ohio:
Northwest Ohio:
If you are going to the Lake Erie Islands area, you will find some Festival Fun in Put-in-Bay, Kelleys AND Lakeside. There’s also the Toledo Night Market, the Montpelier Bean Days Festival, Lambert Days in Ohio City, the Summer Moon Festival in Wapakoneta and the McComb Cookie Festival to name a few.
Northeast Ohio:
Tons of festivals. In fact, many of the reviews listed below are from this region: Headlands BeachFest (Mentor), Painesville Party in the Park, St. Paul Grecian Festival (North Royalton), the Willoughby ArtsFest, the St. Joseph Ox Roast Fair (Mantua). But there’s a lot more going on (Taste of Tremont, Lakewood’s Summer Meltdown Festival, Medina Art in the Park), so be sure to look at the listing below and the map.
Central Ohio:
Along with some Parish Festivals in Columbus and Gahanna (not to mention a GospelFest in Columbus), there are the Picktown Palooza, the second North Market Night Market (see Review ), Art Affair on the Square in Urbana, both the Buckeye Comic Con and Trotcon in Columbus and the Madison County Fair in London.
Southwest Ohio:
There are some Parish Festivals in the area, the Ohio Challenge in Middletown, the Cincy Blues Fest, the Montgomery County Fair in Dayton, the Adams County Fair in West Union and, if you don’t mind crossing the state lines, several festivals in Northern Kentucky, including the Augusta Riverfest Days, the Bacon Bourbon and Brew Festival in Newport, and a few more Parish Festivals.
Southeast Ohio:
There are actually more festivals than normal in this area, including the Starwood Festival in Pomeroy, the Crooksville-Roseville Pottery Festival (in Roseville this year), a Fireman’s Festival in Amesville and some County Fairs.
****
As always, I have nearly 20 festival reviews below (there’s also a link for a friend’s review for Taste of Tremont). Be sure to take advantage of these reviews as well as the map. With all these festivals, it could be overwhelming to look at the list along.
Granted, if you are near the cities of Akron/Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, there are lists below of festivals in your area. While I do try to make sure that all area festivals are included in those lists, I do recommend looking at the map and the main Ohio list as a precaution.

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
