Upcoming Ohio Festival Weekend: July 28-31, 2022

Polka, Pirates, Annie Oakley, Ribs, Celts, the Ohio State Fair and plenty more!

It’s the last weekend of July and there are over 70 festivals, fairs and shows this weekend!

Concerning the fairs, there are 12 county fairs going on this weekend, not including the Ohio State Fair, where you can get up close with the butter cow and other butter sculptures honoring Ohio’s agricultural heritage (this year’s theme). There will also be all the wonderful deep fried foods, rides, entertainment, critters and more that you love and cherish!

There are also more than 60 festivals to choose from, including some popular ones like the Dayton Celtic Festival, the Northwest Ohio Rib-Off, the Canal Winchester Blues and Ribfest and the Balloon Classic (part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival).

And there are others to note like the an Annie Oakley Festival in Greenville, a Pirate Days Festival in Akron, the Y Bridge Arts Festival in Zanesville, Streetsboro Family Days and the Polka Picnic in Toledo.

This weekend is filled with parish festivals, cultural festivals, summer festivals, and just great opportunities to get out there and explore your state!

Now let’s take a closer look at each section of Ohio:

Northwest Ohio:
There are a nice amount of festivals spread throughout Northwest Ohio. Along with the Northwest Ohio Rib-Off in Maumee, the Polka Picnic in Toledo, and Annie Oakley in Greenville, you can find festivals in Vanlue, North Baltimore, and Gibsonburg. There’s also an Ox Roast in Shiloh, and a Children’s Festival in Mansfield.

Northeast Ohio:
Most of the festivals in the Cleveland area, but more still around Akron, Canton, Youngstown and the lake shore. Along with some of the festivals mentioned above, there’s an Irish Festival in Youngstown, the Scene Ale Fest in Cleveland, a Zucchini Festival in Chardon, and a Latino Festival in Cleveland.

Central Ohio:
The Ohio State Fair is back and will be a big draw this weekend. But there is also Whitehall’s Food Truck Festival, an Eggfest in Obetz, a Seltzerland Festival in Columbus, the Grandview Hop in Grandview Heights, the Canal Winchester Blues and Ribfest, and more.

Southwest Ohio:
More parish festivals in the Cincinnati area, a Mediterranean Festival in Loveland, a Sunflower Festival in Frankfort and the popular Dayton Celtic Festival. In nearby Newport, Kentucky, I should also mention that Goettafest will be going on this weekend and the next.

Southeast Ohio:
The Lancaster Festival is the big one for you this weekend. The Vinton County Fair is also going on in McArthur as well as the Harmar Days Festival in Marietta. For those down near Ironton, you may want to consider the Hot Dog Festival in nearby Huntington, West Virginia.
