My family & I enjoy Applefest every year in Lebanon. Not sure why they changed it from a 2 day…read moreevent to a 1 day event?! It's extremely crowded! I would give it 5 stars except that entering & exiting the parking area at the fairgrounds is not fun! All the vendor booths are great! Long lines for the food vendor booths...no surprise. All in all, a day of wonderful family fun!

Fun event and fun people/town putting it on. Its largely a really huge craft show with a pretty…read moregood amount of themed food places. Great way to spend a fall weekend in Ohio. It gets very crowded and in recent years that would scare me away, but the vendors and patrons are very friendly. My only negative is, I wouldn't bring multiple kids that are 5-12 years old, its so crowded keeping track of them would be difficult and I think many kids would be bored. (Maybe your kids are different) The town of Waynesville was so charming, I want to come back to town when the festival isn't going on and check it out.

Love this street fair. But go early if you want to park in town. If not head toward youngs dairy…read more... across the street from it there is free parking in a field and buses going back and forth .. all free. The street fair has lots of venders and interesting things... crafts, hand made things, art, if you want cool hippie shirt, belly dancing, food trucks. Sometimes field of sunflowers outside of town.

My first visit to the Lebanon Blues Festival was during the 20th annual of the event…read more When I arrived in Lebanon I was able to find easy parking in the historic downtown parking lots though they were near full and many of the streets were packed with cars as well. Given it's a Blues Fest, the first thing I saw was an antique car show and competition. This leads me to mention that this event as expanded well beyond a Blues festival. This is a city block party. Food vendors, food trucks, craft merchants, car shows and lastly the beer garden with live bands. During the 2018 event everything expanded across four streets. The area that served beer was somewhat fenced in along a grassy area with natural shade and the center stage. After entering the beer garden they planned for capacity by having separate tents to check for ID, purchase tickets for alcohol and lastly serve beer. I was able to listen to a couple bands during my visit. I really enjoyed The Sean Carney Band. The City of Lebanon and Lebanon Optimist club really did a bang up job.

Fantastic Blues festival in a very quaint town. Great music, beer gardens, good food, car show…read more Lebanon does a first rate job with all their festivals

Hey I thought this was a fabulous event and I wish it happened more than once a year! Very well…read moreattended and organized, huge variety of food trucks to choose from. Conveniently located (for me lol) and had a lot of parking, although they closed the lot after I came in which was weird. I went around lunch time and was able to be home within an hour! Please do this event more often!! I tried the following: AJ's Cheesesteaks - I've heard so much about how they're some of the best cheesesteaks in the area. The product was definitely quality and the bread was good, but all I could taste was the butter they put all over the bun, no cheese or steak flavor. The sandwich was also kind of small. I would try it again sometime, especially the fries, but tbh Penn Station is better for me. Fusako - I was really excited to try this truck. I guess the signature item was the wings or the hotdog, which sounded great but too heavy for me. I tried the street corn gyoza and it was $10 for 4 gyoza with some canned corn and mayo topping and regular dumplings...? I didn't get it. Shaken up Lemonade - I appreciated that this lemonade was not super sweet and it was a large portion. Refreshing! Naughty Lobster - The sandwich was good, I just got a plain one instead of experimenting. I think it's better than the corporate lobster truck that comes around here sometimes. Just be aware that the guy on the truck hits on everyone, regardless of gender or age, as part of the shtick. (: Looking forward to attending this event next time and hoping for more like it!

I came here with my BFF, and we got an Italian beef sandwich, then got cheesesteak sandwich and…read moreloaded cheesesteak fries. The food was so very good. This place was packed and I wish they would do it once a month. I would so come back just try other things. As you can see in the pictures there are at least 50 food trucks.

Who doesn't like the fair? What!? You don't, well stop reading this…read more.. OK, so now that I have all the fair lovers, lets get into it. The Harvest Home Fair is a downright ancient tradition here on the West Side of Cincinnati. Every year on the weekend after Labor Day a little fair pops up to take over Harvest Home Park in Cheviot. It has all the fair essentials; rides, animals, and of course the wonderful fair food. They even manage to fit a little rodeo area in, too. The one downside was the expense. It was $5 just to get in! And then you had to pay for everything else, too. Well, the rodeo was free actually. But the rides and food were not cheap! All in all we spent $31 for my wife and me, and I can imagine a family would seriously spend some dough. But there's no point trying to deny your child the joys of a fair once they know it's there. Hey that rhymed. Awesome.

First day is usually very hot humid and often muddy but today was ideal so we thought we would go…read more It's around 40 a person plus all your snacks. Parking is in grassy field so consider muddy days. Take real note to where u park so have prayer of finding your car. We were there when they opened and still didnt see all the shows before they closed. My fav is theater in the mud/ground. Name has changed to ground so must have been so copy write issues. Bring cash for tipping... they make it clear that is expected so bring cash. If u go to mud show ...you might get muddy. This is great place to people watch ... that's all I'm saying about that . This isn't something id go to regularly but we have been 3-4 times many years ago. It's really not changed much over the years but entertaining.

Perfect location for Ohio Ren Fair -- Lots to enjoy…read more.. Travel Tip: Highway may backup for 30 to 60 minutes at entrance. Management has not figured traffic control after all of these years Lots and lots of food choices. Excellent family adventures. Caveat: Comfortable dining, and we view this as a plus - sweaters, jacket, and sweatshirts are welcome. Several reviews refer to dry meats, and we suggest an early arrival to prevent this malady. Take care with the wee ones - lots of walking and family friendly events. Neat experience...Would we return? All in all - in a few years.
