Ohio's Festival Weekend: April 23-26, 2026

Maple Festivals, Dogwood, Ramps, Mushroom, Jane Austen and Vikings!

Welcome back, festival fans.

Many consider this weekend the true start of Ohio’s Festival Season.

Not only is there a nice increase of festivals this weekend (which will continue for many more weekends to come) but it’s the weekend that brings you the Geauga County Maple Festival (Review), which may be the Ohio’s first festival of the year with outdoor rides.

Among the festivals this weekend, you can celebrate Earth Day in various cities, Jane Austen in Sharonville, Asian Food in Cincinnati, Dogwood in Piketon…

…Ramps (Review) in Peninsula…

…and even Vikings (Review) in Ashville.

There are also some Expos and Shows to check out, festival-esque Markets and more.

And it’s only going to get better.
