Tommy Boy, Bigfoot, Pickles, Hippies, Corn, Tomatoes and over 100 more festivals and fairs this weekend!
Welcome back, festival fans.
Before I jump into this weekend, I wanted to let you know that it’s officially the time of Oktoberfests!
Therefore, the Ohio Oktoberfest and German Festival Guide has been updated for 2025.
The guide includes a listing of Oktoberfests and German festivals through the rest of the year with a map of the cities having them. The map is populated as festivals are confirmed – some listings have an asterisk next to the date, which means “tentative.”
The Ohio Oktoberfest Guide can be found at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-oktoberfest-2025/
Also, the map includes confirmed cities beyond Ohio.
If you want 2025 Oktoberfest Guide for states beyond Ohio, you can find it at https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/oktoberfest-guide-2025/
