110+ Festivals and Fairs celebrating Grapes, Sorghum, Pretzels, Mums, Pumpkins, Swiss Cheese, Oktoberfests and more this weekend!
Welcome back, festival fans.
In Ohio this weekend, you can find over 110 Festivals, Fairs and Shows.
There are slightly less festivals from last week but that doesn’t make it any less of a goliath festival weekend.
The Oktoberfests continue in cities like Dayton, Minerva, Fort Loramie, Findlay, Sandusky, Galion, Oregon, Greenfield and many others (be sure to look at the 2025 Oktoberfest Guide), and there are other cultural festivals that celebrate Polish, Swiss, Egyptian (and more) food, music and traditions.
Plus many Farm Festivals continue, the Fall and Harvest Festivals are in full force, and there are festivals for anyone who has a passion for Hot Air Balloons, Ribs, Wellness, Railroad, and Art.
Some of this weekend’s returning festivals (many of which I’ve been to) include…
