Wine gardens and food everywhere lining the streets of Madison and the Ohio River! Of course I go for the art but there is one food vendor in particular that I have to visit and it's Miss Piggy's pork chop sandwiches! Without the best I've ever eaten..and the ribs are great too! It was a really hot summer day so I ate lightly and drank heavily! The wine garden had a delicious Sangria that made the heat tolerable, the more you drank the cooler the day ! If you really want a nice piece of original art this is the place! From stained glass, jewelry or Americana you'll find it here. The festival is great and so are the homes that line the roads of old Madison. Excellent preservation at its best! I never miss this event and I assure you if you go you'll return!

Unfortunately, this year it occurred during the heat wave, so I think that kept the crowd down. But the event still had the makings of a good local street festival. My favorites were Christine's (loved their fried cheese curds), Kona's shaved ice (just what the weather called for), and Kungfusion for spicy pork over rice. There was a good section of tables, activities for children, and lots of good music to be had. Overall, a great comeback that I hope will just get bigger next year.

This was a solid 3 star festival. I headed here to spend time with family for my birthday. I've…read moreseen posts for the Wool Festival on social media but had never gone. I love crafts and this festival has you covered for sure. There were no less than 5 giant tents filled with booths of all kinds of handmade goods. The admission charge was $5 and they only took cash. Due to the area that the festival is in, phone signals are hard to come by so most places only took cash. There were plenty of bluegrass bands playing throughout the day. There was a main stage and a smaller stage to keep you busy. Sheep demonstrations took place as well and there was a smaller tent with a petting zoo. The festival had a lot of cute places to stop and take pictures. Several families seemed to do their family photos while at the festival. On the downside, seating for the music was mostly hay bales. After about 30 minutes, you can feel the lack of support. Also, trying to park can be a test of patience so it's best to get to the festival early. There are shuttles to take you to the various parking lots. The music acts tended to play on both stages. For instance, a band that played on the main stage at noon played the smaller stage at 2. If you liked a band, you could see them play twice but most of the time it felt redundant. This was an ok festival overall. Lots of crafts and food as well as some decent music.

Yes, this is a well-known multi-state yard sale that involves Hamilton Avenue in Cincinnati, and…read moreyou really need to check it out once, just to say that you've been there. But my experience is that it's over-rated and misnamed. It's really a long string of flea markets. Most of the stops are either higher-priced items, specialty collector items, or picked-over items (you can get all the cheap glassware and worn-out pots you want here). I prefer real yard sales, where you can obtain good quality items, are dealing with the original owner, and are paying original prices, not ones marked up by each hand it's gone through. And the goal of the seller isn't to make a big profit -- it's to get rid of items and have relaxed conversations with their neighbors --- that's the real spirit of yard sales.

I've been going since they held it on Fountain Square, The Banks and now Sawyers Point. Each year is unique. I know my favorite beer and food vendors and keep going back to them. The Weiner dog race is such a hoot to watch. Watching everyone dress up is fun as well. The whole festival has good vibes and energy. Love watching the bands and there's plenty of tents and seating. There's a section for vendors if you want to shop. My Mr and I was excited to see a cuckoo clock and purchased a small one. Overall I always enjoy going. Good food, beer and laid back.

It's a really fun time for both kids and adults. EVERYTHING is totally free, and provided by the church. It's set as a 1700s Kentucky colonial village. They do a 5x7 family photo, which is very professionally done, and has an absolutely gorgeous scene set up. Inside they have old time kids games, dulcimer players, and quilters, along with hot chocolate. Then you can venture outside into the village. They have multiple little buildings set up representing a school, church, candle shop, sweet shop, wood workers, general store, etc. As you make your way through, you can dip your very own candles, pick up a chocolate covered pretzel, make a wooden ornament, decorate a cookie, go through a petting zoo, and take either a carriage and/or hayride. They even have cut outs to stick your face in to get cute pictures. And on the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, they have absolutely beautiful performances in the church. My 4 daughters have the best time every year. It's definitely a recommended Christmas event!
