Garlic, Music, and Cultural Festivals before the end of summer!
As the School Bus engines get warmed up for the upcoming academic year, the festivals are still running at full steam!
Honestly, one could argue that there are more fall festivals than summer festivals because September will be the biggest festival month yet.
But let’s just focus on this weekend as there is plenty to offer!
As you’ll see below, with the help of utilizing last week’s Color Legend, you’ll notice a decent amount of Cultural Festivals, particularly the German-American Festival in Oregon (Review), One World Day in Cleveland, the Lebanese Festival in Dayton, and the St. Josaphat Ukrainian Festival in Parma (Review).
Along with all the ethnic eats, you can also sink your teeth into some really interesting (and delicious) Food Festivals this weekend, such as the Cleveland Garlic Festival (Review) and the Columbus Fiery Food Festival.
Feel like shopping? Check out the Great Trail Festival in Malvern (Review), the Shaker Woods Festival in Columbiana (Review) and various day and night markets in Toledo, Butler, and Olmsted Falls.
And still there are Pride Festivals, Dog Festivals, Community Festivals and a Medieval Fest.
Plenty to do!
I’m going to keep last week’s color legend to highlight festivals below so that you can find them more easily.
Here’s the Legend:
I had a really good experience (My Review)

Church Festival

Art Festival
